Why are GEICO ads so successful? GEICO advertising campaigns are known for using surreal humor and satire, often featuring distinctive characters such as the company's mascot, the GEICO gecko. A common line used by GEICO is "15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance."

Jake Dylan Wood (born 12 July 1972) is a British actor, best known in his native United Kingdom for playing Max Branning in long-running BBC soap opera EastEnders and in the United States as the voice of the GEICO gecko.

Back in 1999, Geico debuted its brand new mascot: The Geico Gecko. But not for the reasons you may think. That year, a Screen Actors Guild strike prevented advertisers from using live actors. That was a big problem for Geico as the insurance company was about to roll out a big new television campaign.

Geico secured its place as an insurance juggernaut with its massive advertising campaigns and a focus on strategic target markets, in addition to being backed by one of the most dependable personalities in business, Warren Buffett.

The Gecko was thought up because Geico was often pronounced as gecko. The icon of advertising started selling insurance in 1999 and was inducted to the Madison Avenue Walk of Fame six years later, in 2005. Since then, he has become one of the most well-known advertising icons because of his relatability.

GEICO's mission is to provide affordable and dependable direct auto insurance to drivers across the United States, while also representing our customers in their time of need following an accident.

Geico's famous slogan, "Fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance," said by its gecko mascot, is now a part of American culture. In 2020, it announced a switch to a new slogan: "GEICO: Real service, real savings."
