UK Launches £50m Campaign Featuring CGI Squirrel 'Savvy' to Encourage Investing

Older UK readers may recall Tufty, who taught children about road safety in the 1970s. His chum, Willy Weasel, regularly got knocked down by passing cars but clever Tufty always remembered to look both ways.Now comes Savvy Squirrel, who, with backing from the chancellor and a multi-year lump of advertising spend from the financial services industry, will try “to drive a step-change in how investing is understood, discussed and adopted”, as the blurb puts it.

UK launches £50m 'Savvy the Squirrel' campaign to lure savers into markets

The UK government has launched a £50m advertising campaign featuring an animated CGI squirrel named 'Savvy' to encourage the nation's cautious savers to move their money from cash into financial markets. Backed by 20 major City firms including Barclays, Aviva and Schroders, the three-to-five-year campaign targets the seven million UK adults holding over £10,000 in cash savings, who campaigners say are losing out due to inflation. The Investment Association warns that £10,000 in a cash ISA a decade ago would be worth £8,400 today versus £19,700 in a global equity fund.
