We’re actually very flattered to be generating so much debate but I did think it was worth replying, just to answer a few of your points.
I work in ClearSky’s marketing team and the reason we advertise on Contractor UK is because it is the most influential and authoritative forum available to contractors in the UK and, although we are aware some of you have found the football ad to be a bit distracting, we have seen a very large number of contractors finding it genuinely useful and clicking on the ad to request additional information on operating as a limited company and about ClearSky Accounting. We have to balance this with some of the negative feedback that is appearing here. I would repeat the advice a number of posters have submitted here on blocking the ads if you don’t like them or they’re not relevant to you.
In the spirit of making our marketing less annoying though, please let me know how often you’d like to see the ads refreshed. And if you work in graphic design and want to suggest what our next campaign should look like, we’d love to hear from you. We promise to use any good ideas or at least put the funny ones on our blog.
We do know that the line “We get a kick out of helping you succeed” is a bit cheesy but it’s a direct quote from our MD who genuinely does get excited when he sees long term clients achieve their ambitions like buying a second home. Sad but true.

FFS get rid of the bastard football, it is annoying. My pet gerbil is epileptic and has had a number of seizures directly attributable to your advertising campaign!
p.s.
I haven't got a gerbil but if I did have and if it were an epileptic then I'm sure your advert would cause it serious problems.Comment

....although when I have accessed from ClientCo I don't think I do.... although I didn't actually login... so that might make a difference.Comment
