VCCP's Meerkats for comparethemarket.com tops Nielsen's poll of most-liked British TV ads

VCCP’s Meerkats for comparethemarket.com tops Nielsen’s poll of most-liked British TV ads

By Stephen Foster on December 30, 2012

Audience researcher Nielsen reckons a Meerkats ad from VCCP was the most-liked ad on UK TV last year followed by efforts for the British Heart Foundation (Vinnie Jones from Grey), Kerrygold butter, John Lewis, Birds Eye Foods, Lindt chocolates, Andrex (a guide dogs appeal), TV marketing body Thinkbox, Carte Noire coffee and Cathedral City cheese. [...]

Gocompare and new agency Dare kill off Gio Compario - but who are they advertising to?

Gocompare and new agency Dare kill off Gio Compario – but who are they advertising to?

By Angie Dean on July 4, 2012

Price comparison website Gocompare.com has moved its account from indie creative team Chris Wilkins and Sian Vickers to Dare (which used to handle rival operation Moneysupermarket.com, now at Mother). And it’s decided to kill off its signature tenor Gio Compario (in truth some Welsh bloke), otherwise why change agencies? So this is its new ad, [...]

Gocompare reviews noisy ads as Moneysupermarket cranks up the volume with Mother

Gocompare reviews noisy ads as Moneysupermarket cranks up the volume with Mother

By Stephen Foster on January 12, 2012

Price comparison website Gocompare.com is reviewing its £28m creative account according to Campaign, something we predicted it might do back in September when it moved its media account to Carat. Not before time either as the amount of nasty, invasive noise generated by these sites is becoming intolerable; it’s not just Gocompare’s bellowing tenor Gio [...]

Easyjet rolls out £50m mega-campaign - well it's certainly different to British Airways

Easyjet rolls out £50m mega-campaign – well it’s certainly different to British Airways

By Stephen Foster on October 3, 2011

Which is presumably one of the things new agency VCCP was aiming for. Although it wouldn’t have known what the new BA campaign from Bartle Bogle Hegarty was going to look like it was a safe bet it wouldn’t take the surprisingly cheap and cheerful approach shown here – a kind of Butlins for Europe [...]

Mother chooses a David Attenborough-style hero for Moneysupermarket debut

Mother chooses a David Attenborough-style hero for Moneysupermarket debut

By Stephen Foster on September 19, 2011

Agency Mother had quite a hard act to to follow when it won the moneysupermarket.com price comparison website in March (Dare’s last ad was a winner featuring John Prescott) but you can’t go wrong with gorillas these days, as Cadbury and Fallon discovered a few years ago. The agency’s debut for its new client is [...]

What next for comparethemarket's meerkats?

What next for comparethemarket’s meerkats?

By Angie Dean on August 3, 2010

How to follow a phenomenally successful campaign is an agency’s worst nightmare. Whatever you come up with is almost bound to be an anti-climax and clients, ungrateful so and so’s as some of them are, are likely to move on however much money the agency has made for them in the past. VCCP, the London [...]
