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, [...]

It’s a bit of a merry-go-round in the world of price comparison websites and now Gocompare.com (and its infamous tenor Gio Compario) has appointed Dare to handle its £28m creative account. Dare handled rival Moneysupermarket.com until it lost the account to Mother last March. This means the end of the road (for now) for husband-and-wife [...]

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 [...]

Well we can only take so much. Price comparison site Gocompare.com’s campaign featuring bellowing tenor Gio Compario (actually a Welshman) has no doubt done wonders for the brand awareness and profits of the Esure-backed website but Gio is surely in danger of outstaying his welcome. Now the company is reviewing its media buying arrangements with [...]

They’re getting classy these days, UK price comparison websites, and Moneysupermarket.com has raised the stakes a bit by hiring Mother to handle its £25m (media equivalent) creative advertising. The business moves from Dare whose swan song was quite a nice ad featuring politician John Prescott. Mother, which seems to have been a bit quiet recently, [...]

And, just to create a trio, price comparison site moneysupermarket.com is reviewing its creative account even [...]
