You're so moneysupermarket - Latest Campaign From Leading Price Comparison Site

CHESTER, England, July 1, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

- New TV Campaign for Britain's Number one Price Comparison
Site Celebrates the Euphoria you Feel When you Save Money
- Produced by Leading ad Agency, Mother
- Fresh Approach to Advertising for the Price Comparison Market -
Focuses on Emotional Benefit of Saving Money

Britain's number one price comparison site, moneysupermarket.com
[http://www.moneysupermarket.com ] will launch its new advertising campaign
on Sunday 3rd July.

In the first campaign for the company by award-winning agency, Mother,
moneysupermarket.com is aiming to stand out from the rest of the price
comparison crowd, amplifying the emotional benefit of using the site. The
campaign focuses on celebrating the euphoria that can come from saving money
- especially now at a time when thrift is king.

The first advertisement in the new campaign focuses on an ordinary
British family man, Geoff, who has used moneysupermarket.com to save money
on his car insurance. Buoyed by his amazing ability to save, Geoff is on top
of the world - he feels invincible, he's walking tall, he can take on the
most incredible of challenges. As his family get settled on the sand, and
the pro surfers stand on the shore surveying the massive waves, Geoff takes
to the mammoth swell - not on a surfboard - but on his inflatable crocodile.
Girls gasp and surfers stare with jealousy as Geoff hangs ten on his croc.
He's incredible, he's amazing, in short, Geoff really is 'so
moneysupermarket'.

The new ad was directed by Speck Gordon, the directing duo who made the
Will Ferrell movie, 'Blades of Glory'. Shot in an epic 'big screen' style,
it features the hit song 'Wipe Out' by the Surfaris as the track accompanies
Geoff on his surfing adventure.

The ad was shot in California and 12 inflatable plastic crocodiles were
harmed during the filming of the ad, as surfboards and special effects were
ditched for realism and a stuntman surfed an inflatable crocodile in a
Californian wave pool.

Speaking about the new campaign, moneysupermarket.com's
[http://www.moneysupermarket.com ] Marketing Director David Osborne, said:
"As Britain's favourite comparison site, we need to make sure we are always
driving the category forward and building on our market-leading position.
This campaign is a fresh approach, and I'm confident it will really help us
to continue to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

"It's a perfect time to launch this new campaign. At a time when many
people are finding it hard to make ends meet, it really can feel fantastic
to save money. We wanted to dramatise that feeling to give all of those
people who use moneysupermarket.com to save a big pat on the back and
encourage even more people to get that buzz with us as well."

ChrisGallery, strategist at Mother said: "The brands in this category
are the biggest advertisers on TV. Their ads are loved, loathed and
remembered by everyone. moneysupermarket.com is the biggest of all the price
comparison websites and wanted advertising that is bigger, better and bolder
than before, a challenge we couldn't resist. Our campaign is about how great
it feels to make a saving, to feel like you are king of the world for a
moment...and the epic consequences of that feeling..."
