Compare The Meerkat

Nothing drives me crazy like TV ads for insurance comparison web sites (if I hear once more that you don’t have to be a computer wizard to use confused.com, I might just drive over the edge).

This ad for Compare The Meerkat Market is clever, funny and hell — it's even got me blogging about it.

Their advertising company deserves a bonus. Are you son of mongoose?!

    I agree Andy. Spot on that agency.  Must admit I even checked out the comparethemeerkat website too.
    Good to see creativity stand out in a staid boring (drive you over the edge) industry.

    The ad made me visit the website too, and I have never bothered to visit their actual site.

    Clever advertising. Much better than other comparison websites’ examples.

    Hah! I actually visited both sites the meerkat and the market. Although they have a great advertisement, I was disappointed when I got the market side…I am tired of seeing pet insurance ads.

    Here was a fun slide show of ads “that will make you look twice” (http://www.pronetadvertising.com/articles/creative-advertising-that-makes-you-look-twice.html)
