After last year's clever 'Unskippable' campaign, Geico is back at it with a new series of pre-roll ads called 'Fast Forward.' According to The Martin Ageny, the brand was faced with a new "pre-roll problem" this year: an online media buy without any skip buttons. Since they're forcing viewers to watch their full ads, the brand "fast-forwards" through each ad so viewers can get to their videos faster. The end of each video ends in some sort of ridiculous scenario, which the brand hopes will prompt viewers to actually click on the ad to see an extended verision that shows what happens.
