BONUS DAY: Mercury Insurance billboards...

Daily Billboard thinks that Mercury Insurance's current ad campaign is simple and effective.

The billboards stand out not only because of the bright egg yolk colour, but also due to the use of some clever copy.

Daily Billboard especially likes the sentiment of the 'Get a great agent. Not a great telemarketer' creative, but wonders in this age of overseas call centers and scripted, standard answers, if the service actually lives up to the promise.

Regardless, the ads do a great job of the communicating the savings you'll apparently enjoy if you opt for Mercury Insurance Group.

These insurance billboards were snapped along 3rd Street, Wilshire Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard in L.A. on January 12 through January 16, 2012.

There seem to be a never-ending supply of creatives for this copy only campaign, so I'm sure we can expect even more versions in the months to come.
