uSwitch, the price comparison and switching service, is launching a new advertising campaign to encourage more people to switch their energy and broadband supplier.

The brand is also unveiling a refreshed logo, identity, and brand slogan, ‘Switching made simple’, alongside the new advertising.

The ‘Yes U Can’ campaign is the first from agency Brothers and Sisters since it won the uSwitch advertising account in November, following the acquisition of uSwitch by ZPG in 2015.

Breaking on 2 January, the campaign introduces the line ‘Yes U Can’ through the character of Coach, a motivator inspired by 1980s US sports movies.

The campaign is based on an insight from Brothers and Sisters that people suffer from ‘action paralysis’ when it comes to switching. Many people know that they could benefit from switching but feel it will be more hassle than it actually is.
