41. Result! Delivered a 37% improvement on target Cost per Acquisition – the ultimate measure of ROI March-April van quotes are up 147% year-on-year Client testimonial The integrated Van insurance campaign has been a huge success for Direct Line, and very exciting to work on. Led by the ‘Job Done’ TV creative it’s an excellent case study of the agency delivering to deadline and within budget on a challenging brief. No other company had ever attempted to make TV advertising work efficiently on such a scale for Van insurance. The beautifully simple and clear approach to the creative, plus the use of Tommy Walsh has really resonated with the target audience. As such we have over-performed against all the targets we set ourselves. For me it’s an excellent example of a ‘one team’ approach and really sets the benchmark for any future advertising we do under the commercial lines brand. Chris Bottle – Head of Marketing, Direct Line for Business

Know your client, know your market SEAT’s are all about the drive all of the passion and engineering coming together to create driving perfection the Cupra as the top of the range should be this in spades HOWEVER SEATs are not very well known (less than 3.5% market share) – so whatever we did had to stand out from the more well known (and bigger spending) marques
