I havent seen anyone else mention it, but if you've ever spent anytime in the Carolinas or Georgia, you gotta love the Geico pothole commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjMUfIKktWU
Way to go, Dayci!

They show that spot here in New England, too!

We loved it.

Just saw it here this morning. She did a great job!
I remember when that round of auditions came through,,, there was one for a Jersey sounding tree branch too.

The Jersey Tree branch aired in the fall here, just before the pothole one.
I thought both are really clever & well done.
There's also the one with the Russian Pipe which is funny.

What's interesting with Geico is that they seem to have several very different branding/ad campaigns going, and yet they all seem to work for them.

There's the gekko, the tree limb/pothole types. the googly eyed money, and then of course the cavemen and the celebrities (Don R.I.P.)

I think of them as the Madonna of Car Insurance: They change their look, but are still successful.

So what's the "branding" there?

Those are fabulous spots. Great job by the talent. Once again, I am just happy to have been able to audition for them. And - after hearing the spots on the air - I know I was in the game.

Connie, I feel the same way!

I love the Geico pothole spot.

Liz, 15 minutes could save your 15% or more on your car insurance is the message that's consistent, I believe. Whether that's "branding" or not... I dunno.

I have this vision of doing a viral video of a bunch of cavemen sitting around a campfire -- roasting a gekko.

Love the FVO. Shows the standard of performance that's possible from an actor as opposed to someone who simply says they are an actor. The MVO is a bit same old, same old.
