The survey of 1000 adults, which was carried out exclusively for
Marketing by TNS, revealed that 60% of the public thought the ad,

the year.
Much of their irritation was undoubtedly caused by Jamster's media
buying strategy, which saw it spend £10m in May alone. The ad,
created by Jamster's in-house team, was aired 83 times an hour.
While Jamster topped the poll, financial services firms provided three
of the year's five most irritating ads. The second-placed 'Quote me
happy' campaign for Norwich Union Direct by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO was
disliked by 55% of respondents, while Elephant.co.uk (44%) and Diamond
Car Insurance (40%) took the fourth and fifth slots.
WCRS' Phones4U 'hand signal' ad took third place (48%).
