spokescharacters

Advertising mascot figures

Spokescharacters are fictional figures created to represent and promote a brand or product—Tony the Tiger for Frosted Flakes, the Geico gecko, Ronald McDonald.

Unlike celebrity endorsers, spokescharacters are owned by the company and never age, demand raises, or cause scandals.

They build brand recognition, especially with children: Kids recognize spokescharacters before they can read.
