Bad Taste Insurance

eGroup have released what are surely the most bad taste adverts in the insurance market. They are fantastic.

eGroup Ad Montage

One of the few insurance companies who are willing to risk a little to gain notoriety. These are no doubt an attempt at viral ads - does anyone know who their marketing agency are? The ads are shown on a satellite site TwoWheelDeals and show

  • The Churchill Dog getting eaten
  • The Direct Line phone machine gunned
  • The Elephant shot with a tank

All they needed was the Sheila’s Wheels gang doing a Thelma & Louise and it would be complete!

If a job’s worth doing, do it properly. They should have given this to the experts, Dom Jolly meets Clockwork Orange!

Roll out the ‘icons’ in costumes, put them in a pub and give each of them a big stick. Give it a CCTV feel and pump out the classical music…

…it kind of represents the market place anyway; but instead of fighting over women and split beer, they’d be fighting over visibility and lost leads.
