Last month The Martin Agency changed up its long-running “It’s What You Do” campaign for Geico with the introduction of a new character in “Spy” and accompanying “Momversations” spots online. Now the agency changes things up a bit more with a new spot for the insurance company entitled “Flextacular.”
The 30-second spot features a pair of bros working out while one of them discusses switching to Geico and saving on insurance and also appears to be a brocbulary exercise in which the agency explores how many different words it can mention using the prefix “bro.” These include “brofessor,” brotato chip,” “brotein shake” and a lot more, some of which you’ve probably heard before. As with the “Spy” broadcast spot there’s a series of ads online further exploring the schtick, in this case a full dozen faux-retro “Brocabulary” videos. While your opinion of the approach will likely hinge on how much you enjoy its goofy bro-humor (bromor?), at the very least it’s nice to see the agency changing things up from the usual routine. As an extension of the campaign, Geico is also selling t-shirts featuring the likes of Teddy Brosevelt, a Brodeo clown and Edgar Allan Bro.
We’d like to take a moment to add the following to the brocabulary lexicon: brosectomy, bromentary, brohel (that would be a bro mohel), brotulent, brolibi and brobotomy.
