Geico Ad Taps Into Voice Assistant Parody Trend

Geico Ad Taps Into Voice Assistant Parody Trend

Voice assistants are the hot topic in marketing, tech and culture at the moment. Strangely enough, parodying voice assistants is also a top trend in auto insurance ads right now. Recently, Safe Auto launched this humorous campaign around Fârnhäan, a voice assistant that bases its intel largely on guessing. Now, Geico brings us this new commercial where a woman gets increasingly frustrated when her assistant with light-up eyebrows can’t seem to get a voice command right. There’s clearly a lot of comic potential that humans can relate to as we adapt to this new technology.
