Does anyone think the AVIVA ads are amongst the most annoying ads around?

Instead of giving the impression that they are a company that 'cares', they come across as condescending
trying to kiss your ass by droning on about how they're a 'company built around you'.

Would think paying $$$££$$ to the likes of Elle MacPherson, Bruce Willis and fking Ringo Starr in the
current climate is pissing money down the drain. I guess they will look to claw back that cash by offering
their 'valued' customers a higher insurance renewal rolleyes

The good thing is the insurance market is really competitive, so just go elsewhere!

Not sure why they bothered to be honest, everybody knew that Norwich Union sold insurance, if you mention Aviva to someone though, they could sell anything from package holidays to tampons - doesn't really make me want to take out a policy with them.

I entirely agree.

Aviva is a bus company to me, so must be avoided like the plague.

Or it could be a mediocre 1970's Vauxhall.

Neither inspire me to use them.

Really? Not so sure about that one.

From memory, insurance companies make little or nothing on policies. As far as I'm aware the profits are made from investments.
