Europe blasts ‘The Final Countdown’ in an office in GEICO ad

Have you ever wondered whatever happened to the band Europe? You know the guys that released the hit song “The Final Countdown” in 1986? I know I haven’t. Well, like fellow rocker Billy Idol, they’re starring in commercials these days, as the group appears in this new spot by GEICO.

GEICO brings the Cavemen back

I’ve written before about Geico’s amazing advertising but every so often we need a reminder. One of the most impressive things they’ve done is run great ad campaigns all year along with the headliners, the Gecko and the Cavemen,  mixed in. They are the characters we most associate with Geico so their value to the company […]

GEICO uses Pig Latin in a Maxwell commercial

GEICO heads in yet another new direction with “One Headlight” ad

It’s almost impossible to keep track of all of the different marketing and advertising strategies and campaigns GEICO is using to sell insurance. There’s the pig, the gecko, the camel and a host of others. You can add yet another to the list as GEICO rolls out an ad pitching their motorcycle insurance set to […]

TruBiotics Swings and Misses With This Erin Andrews Commercial

http://youtube.com/watch?v= P2rf225OoqA[/youtube] I like Erin Andrews.  I do not like this commercial starring Erin Andrews. So many things are wrong with this ad and it's only :15 long! First of all, if, as she says, the core of our health is truly on the inside, why as she at a gym, where people are working […]
