WASHINGTON, D.C., October 18, 2010 – Ever so hip, the GEICO Gecko is going mobile via Apple’s innovative new iAd advertising platform.
GEICO, a charter iAd advertiser, has created an ad experience with the Gecko’s well-known humor and charm that takes advantage of the unique features of the iPhone.
Through the iAd platform, iPhone users may see a banner ad in certain applications inviting them to spin the Gecko’s Wheel of Wisdom. The game-show style interface lets users consult the Gecko about a wide array of life issues, including: romance, food, money, health, style, travel, family and friends, without having to exit the app they’re currently using.
In addition to receiving wisdom from the iconic Gecko, users will be able to download special wallpapers and ringtones, watch the latest GEICO commercials and download the GloveBox and SnapQuote applications directly from the iAd to get GEICO insurance quotes and manage policies on the go. An interactive map is also available to locate GEICO offices around town.
