GoCompare beheads Gio Compario for Halloween

Price comparison site Gocompare.com has launched a special Halloween TV ad featuring a headless Gio Compario.

The 'Ghost Appearance' ad is set in an Elizabethan manor and features two security guards guarding expensive jewellery.

A ghostly looking Gio appears through the panelled walls with his head tucked under his arm.  He is joined by a duo of headless Tudor ladies and backed by a chorus of ghostly voices while Gio dances with a pair of skeletons, the ladies make off with the jewels.

The ad launched over the weekend and was created by Gocompare.com's in-house marketing team. The creative concept was developed by Siân and Chris Wilkins and the production company was Groundglass.

in which Gio rocks-out with animal skin bikini-clad cave girls, a pterodactyl and a woolly mammoth.

Media buying and planning is handled by MEC. GoCompare's £28m media account is currently up for grabs after a review called in September.

Nick Hall, Gocompare.com's head of marketing, said: "This ad was a lot of fun to make and hopefully we can give people a laugh over the Halloween period, with something a bit topical.

"We have tended to focus on car insurance with Gio but we have a very strong home insurance offer. Now that the dark nights are drawing in, people need to be a bit careful about exactly who may be 'ghosting' into their home."
