Insurance.com Runs National Television Advertising Campaign

CLEVELAND, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Insurance.com is currently running a national television advertising campaign on cable television. Two thirty second commercials created by Pickett Advertising illustrate, using humor and action, how consumers can benefit from comparison shopping for auto insurance at Insurance.com.

One commercial features a group of insurance agents competing in a triathlon, fully clothed in business suits as they emerge wet and dripping from the ocean onto a beach. Frantically trying to provide the most competitive auto insurance rates while balancing on a bicycle, and finally crossing the finish line in triumph, yet only one will be the company picked by the consumer. The other commercial shows insurance agents on a remote tropical island, competing in tasks and challenges, all trying to provide the best auto insurance rate for the consumer.

Both commercials end with the same tagline - "May The Best Quote Win!"

"What that really means," commented Dave Roush, CEO of Insurance.com, the largest online auto insurance agency in the United States, "is when the nation's top auto insurance companies are brought together to compete for your business, you stand a good chance of finding the rate and coverage that's best for you. That means you win."

According to Insurance.com's recently released 2005 Auto Insurance Pricing Report, 27 states experienced an increase in their auto insurance rates from 2004 to 2005. One of the highest increases was in North Dakota, where drivers saw a 15.7% increase in their auto insurance premiums in 2005. However, many of the nation's largest states actually saw their rates decrease. Pennsylvania drivers experienced a 9.7% decrease and New Yorkers experienced a 3.4% decrease in their rates from 2004.

"Auto insurance rates change all the time," Roush confirmed, "so just by comparing rates from top insurance companies, consumers could save hundreds of dollars each year. In fact, our customers have saved an average of $451 a year on their auto insurance. That's a lot of gas money."

The 30 second clips were produced for Insurance.com by Pickett Advertising of San Francisco.
