Triggers range from a prompt to replace a tyre, through to an offer to buy an extended warranty, or a reminder that a car finance plan is approaching its end.

MotorEasy Brand Growth 

Little more than a year after launch, MotorEasy took the bold step to begin advertising on television. Confident in the quality of its core warranty product, it saw an opportunity to bolster consumer awareness as well as stand apart from its immediate competitor set. 

Television advertising kicked-off in January 2017, running almost consistently through to June 2023, through a mixture of 30-second TV spot airtime and a long term sponsorship arrangement with "Driving Entertainment on Dave". Sponsorship on DAVE was also supplemented with similar arrangements on the channels Eden and Gold.

In the 85-months through to January 2024, MotorEasy TV advertising and sponsorship has remained on screen for 60-months. The investment proving instrumental in building prompted and unprompted brand awareness, as well as its overall profile on search engine organic listings.
