Geico's new ads pair a celebrity with the gecko mascot for first time. By Adrianne Pasquarelli. Published on May 08, 2023. A new series of Geico spots include actor Will Arnett reluctantly teaming up with the brand's gecko mascot.

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.

Geico's success as an insurance company has come from offering consumers independence and low prices, as well as rolling out effective advertising campaigns that highlight savings. Chief among the forces behind Geico's success is the insurer's innovative and user-friendly initiatives.

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.
