The intention of the Compare the Meerkat advertising campaign was to differentiate itself from its competitors though the use of a play on words. They introduced the character Aleksandr Orlov as a warm, lovable character that was instantly memorable.
The voiceover for the meerkat advert is performed by actor and comedian Aleksandr Orlov, who is a character created for the advertising campaign. The character is known for his distinctive Russian accent and humorous personality. The campaign is for the comparison website Compare the Market.

Sergei is a very clever meerkat, so he managed to make people want to compare meerkats. Aleksandr has very good advertising skills, so people want to compare meerkats even more! Also because it makes 'compare the muskrat' seem awful
Simples !
