GEICO

Over the past year, employees at GEICO have demonstrated their commitment to strengthening the communities where we live and work by volunteering more than 4,500 hours and working with the GEICO Philanthropic Foundation to donate to deserving non-profit organizations.    Whether donating a car to a deserving individual, providing meal kits, helping our military families, or joining in hurricane relief efforts, GEICO is proud to work with supportive partners that help us provide resources for people in need.   Thank you to all our employees for helping inspire and drive change this year. We look forward to making an even bigger impact in 2025

In a year with so many great ads, it is truly an honor for GEICO's Legend of the Lizard documentary to earn a spot on ADWEEK's "20 Best Ads of 2024." As we crafted Legend of the Lizard, we explored how to tell the story of the Gecko, our beloved spokesperson of thirty years, from his humble beginnings through his rise to insurance superstardom. We are so happy that our labor of love resonated with so many people, and thank you to our marketing team, as well as to the the incredible storytellers at The Martin Agency, for helping bring the Gecko's tale to life.

Thanks to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia for supporting local children! We are so proud to contribute to replacing equipment that will help the organization continue its important mission. 

Last week, we joined over 20,000 tech professionals, students and innovators at #AFROTECH24. Partnering with AFROTECH and attending their annual conference connects us with emerging talent who are shaping the future of #GEICOtech through digital modernization and tech transformation.    This year’s conference was held in Houston, Texas, giving us the opportunity to give back to the communities where our employees live and work. With the help of our charitable partner, Shoes That Fit, we distributed hundreds of pairs of shoes to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston. As part of our ongoing partnership with the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program, we donated a refurbished car to a local resident in need of transportation.    At GEICO, we are invested in innovation and empathy, and are committed to developing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment both within our workplace and in our wider community.    See you at AFROTECH 2025!

Meet Kate M., Senior Tech Services Specialist at GEICO and U.S. Army veteran. In 2010, Kate suffered a great loss when her daughter unexpectedly passed away. By miracle or fate, she made an unexpected friend in a place she least expected it. In 2022, Kate was attending a Veterans Day luncheon at her office when she was introduced to the Western New York Heroes (WNYHeroes Inc.) nonprofit. Their “Pawsitive for Heroes” program connects veterans with service dogs named after fallen soldiers. Through their program, she took home her very own service dog, Abby, who has become her best friend, accompanying Kate to the GEICO office each day. The story of Kate and Abby finding each other is a truly inspiring example of the support within the military community; after Kate was able to meet the mother of the U.S. Army soldier who Abby is named after, they formed a lasting bond which Kate cherishes to this day. At GEICO, we are proud to support our employees with disabilities, both within and outside of the military community. Today, Kate is a member of GEICO’s Achieving Beyond and Lifting Expectations Employee Resource Group (ABLE), volunteering her time to the group and educating leaders on the importance of service animals for employees’ mental health. “I’m grateful to be able to bring my military experience to my civilian role here at GEICO. I’m also grateful to GEICO for making strides to improve associates’ mental health and walking this journey with me.” - Kate M., Senior Tech Services Specialist at GEICO.
