GEICO is a heavy advertiser. The Berkshire-Hathaway owned insurance company drops a lot of money into the TV advertising bucket every year because they see a return on investment. That’s the way of Warren.
Thankfully, GEICO’s ad agency, The Martin Agency in Richmond, VA continues to find new and different ways to pitch and amuse the audience.

“As long as sloths are slow, you can count on GEICO saving folks money.” As long as sloths are slow. This copy rings true!
Did you know that sloths move only when necessary because muscles make up only 25 to 30 percent of their total body weight? Most other mammals have a muscle mass that makes up 40 to 45 percent of the total body weight. Sloths move at an average speed of 4 meters (10 ft) per minute, but they can move at a marginally higher speed if they are in immediate danger from a predator.
