8 roles
“Do Nothing Day” Mom sits at a table and delivers her line to camera with proud, quiet confidence. MOM: “With the time I saved letting GEICO set up my home insurance policy, I rewarded myself with a do-nothing day.” She zones out. Her expression goes blank, then slowly shifts into a small, grateful smile. She bursts into a big smile and joyfully delivers the line. MOM: “I’m having so much fun.”
Script 1: “Weird Pipe” – A man tangled under a messy kitchen sink holds his phone in selfie mode and a pipe, saying: “GEICO saved me money on home insurance. So easy! Unlike DIY plumbing…” Emphasize the absurdity, awkward angles, and limited mobility; ad-libs encouraged. Script 2: “Millennial Pause” – A man records himself in selfie mode. SUPER/AVO: “GEICO knows we all do it. Every generation has their thing. It feels good to GEICO.”
Credible gamer look “Play-Thru” A gamer intensely plays a first person shooter, controller in hand. He speaks gaming lingo and jokes with the people on his headset. Show a range of gameplay emotion from disappointment to tension to excitement, as if he is a character in a video game. Director Notes: We’re not looking for toxic or aggressive gaming chatter. Keep it fun, light, and PG, like a streamer who’s charismatic rather than rage-y.
Well-groomed hands. No visible tattoos on hands or arms. No signs of nail biting. Please present front and back of hand to the camera. Along with a full head-to-toe view of body
“Choose Your Biker” A biker stands in the street next to his motorcycle. He has a subtle vertical bounce, the way an idle video game character would. Director Notes: Keep the idle bounce small and controlled. Think subtle motion capture performance, not exaggerated bobbing. Feel free to ad-lib poses and movements. **Please submit a photo of your bare chest and back. **Please submit photos or videos of their motorcycles.
Ideally a real couple Man: Open to diversity, 30-40. The kind of guy who spends weekends on the bike but still reads as a normal, everyday person off of it. Woman: Open to diversity, The kind of woman who spends weekends on the bike but still reads as a normal, everyday person off of it. “Couple 1” A couple on a motorcycle rides up to a stoplight. They look at each other and smile. Director Notes: Fine to mime the motorcycle. Feel free to use a scene partner, or ad-lib poses or movements
Preferably a real tattoo artist with visible tattoos. “Tattoo” In a dimly lit tattoo parlor, a woman tattoos a man's back with a traditional coil machine. She wipes the lower back with a towel, revealing a GEICO logo tramp stamp. Director Notes: Please present back, arms, sides and face. If you have a video of yourself tattooing others, that’s a plus.
(Photo only) Trustworthy, put-together, blue collar worker. “Fall Photoshoot” Director Notes: Pose in a variety of ways to camera, ranging from still and straight faced to animated and silly. Imagine taking a series of goofy photos with a buddy or child.
