Anyone else think Progressive needs to retire Flo and her friends. Mayhem is great, Jake fits the brand. But Flo, she’s overcooked.

The reason Flo (and her cohorts) work is larger than just being mascots. They set expectations that shopping for insurance is easy, like going to a retail store. They have riffed way beyond that, but the strategy behind was much more nuanced than "mascot" - it was also "let's make shopping for insurance more approachable and use a context most consumers understand, going to a retail store like Target and getting/shopping for what you need". I think that's the part they want to preserve the most. And it isn't like they haven't run alternative campaigns, such as the "don't turn into your parents" commercials. But if something is working - and Flo/the strategy really, really worked for them - I don't think they would just try something new for the sake of newness.

I dunno. Not sure if the use of her is as surprising as it once was, but it’s at least an identity.

I keep thinking of her as “Aunt Flo.”

They should do a campaign where flo trains up her replacement, but her replacement never really gets it… or something like that

I think they’re pretty good overall. Especially since they’ve been going on so long.

I would take one Flo over a thousand Jake from State Farms. Especially when paired with that piece of human cardboard Patrick Mahomes. And they can keep throwing Flo at us as long as they keep making Dr.Rick spots

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
