The main turning point for Go compare was in 2009 when they launched their first advertising camping. they used a character called Gio and he was so annoying that it caught the public's attention and from this point on the brand just rapidly grew and the company has spread the brand awareness to wider audience.
There are many different definitions of brands out there and they all try to establish what exactly is a brand and how it can be used.

    In every given business, the name itself portrays different meanings. This serves as the reference point and sometimes the basis of customers on what to expect within the company. Since personality affects product image (Langmeyer & Shank, 1994), the presence of brand helps in the realization of this concept. Traditionally, brand is a symbolic manifestation of all the information connected with a company, product, or service (Nilson, 2003; Olin, 2003). A brand is typically composed of a name, logo, and other visual elements such as images, colors, and icons (Gillooley & Varley, 2001; Laforet & Saunders, 1994)).
