History
UK & Ireland
In 2008, Protect Your Bubble launched in the UK. The company tagline is "Your life, Our Lifestyle Cover" and the company mascots are known as Bubble (a bubble) and Squeak (a mouse), which is a nod to the traditional English dish Bubble and Squeak. In 2013, the company decided to enter its third market by launching in Ireland. Meanwhile, Rob Basinger was hired on to head UK operations during the summer of the same year. In late 2013, tennis legend John McEnroe starred in a television commercial as part of the UK advertising campaign. In 2015, Olympic and Commonwealth gold medalist, Geraint Thomas, partnered with Protect Your Bubble UK to become their cycling brand ambassador. The Welsh cyclist, who once had a TT bike stolen from his car, now promotes their insurance for bicycles worth up to £8,000.
US
In 2012, the company sought to expand its business and began offering its products in the US. In 2014, Stacey Vogler was tasked to lead the US operations. Protect Your Bubble partnered with Snap One in July to offer a complimentary mobile security app, Snap Secure, for new customers of its Identity Theft protection plan. In August, PYB US launched its new Protection Plans offering which is a multi-device coverage plan, bundled under one policy.
Protect Your Bubble discontinued all U.S. offerings on August 1, 2016.
Brazil
In 2014, Protect Your Bubble entered the Brazilian market under the name, Bem Mais Seguro. In the same year, the company used Brazilian actor Márcio Garcia in a series of commercials to promote their products.
