GEICO asked us to come up with an idea to bring to Final Four Fan Fest (Men’s) and Party on the Tourney Town (Women’s) - something that would educate about their brand, resonate with their customers, be fun, and get lots of sign-ups (lead-in).
Like GEICO, the garage is the one space in any house that bundles home and auto together.
It’s the bonus room that becomes a shrine to fandom, collecting trophies, and memorabilia — a living museum to every unforgettable moment.
And it’s a home court, where families hang their first backboard, turning casual one-on-ones into quality family time.
So at Final Four, we transformed this familiar and beloved space into a GEICO experience that entertained and educated fans throughout the tournament. We created a shooting challenge (think Around the World) where everything inside showed fans when you bundle and save with GEICO, you win.
The GEICO Garage is first and foremost a garage.
It’s stocked with everything you’d expect in a great one — tools, trash cans, a lawn mower, sturdy shelving, a fridge, a car.
But it’s also filled with hoops.
Actual hoops, like the mini one on the back wall of the garage. And improvised hoops — like a stack of tires, a bicycle basket, an open trash can, a laundry hamper.
