poster children
Ideal case examples
Poster children are people who represent or embody a cause, condition, or quality—originally children featured in charity campaigns.
The term now applies broadly, often with irony: They're the poster children for dysfunction.
Someone can be the poster child for success or failure, virtue or vice.
The singular poster child is more common.
