This week in class we looked at mascots. Our primary focus was on features of mascots, particularly those from sporting events such as professional leagues and the Olympics. Mascots, however, are used by a much wider variety of marketers, from a honeybee on Cheerios cereal to a red haired clown named Ronald for McDonalds. Your blog post task for this week is to identify a mascot that does not come from a sports team (and not Cheerios or McDonalds!), and describe why the mascot is effective (or ineffective). Try to choose a different example than your peers.

One successful mascot I can think of is Buzz from the Honey Nut Cheerios. It leaves me a good impression of the product and is memorable as well. Buzz is presented holding a stick of honey and putting it in the cheerio. It offers a very tasty and sweet feel and can leave a good impression on customers.

One mascot that I believe is very effective is the Leprechaun man on Lucky Charms cereal. The mascot’s name is Lucky, he represents a sense of luck and joy. the marshmallows in the cereal represents him being a leprechaun and that is his treasure at the end of the rainbow. This is an effective mascot because it gives consumers a positive view on the product.

The mascot I chose is Mr. Peanut, he is the mascot for planters and is one of the most recognizable mascots around. Mr. Peanut has been around since the 1920s and even people who don’t know the brand name will know the mascot. He does a great job at representing the brand because of how many people will know what the brand is and what it sells. There are very few mascots that have lasted for so long and stood the test of time.

The mascots that i think best describe their product or the m&m men. These guys are not only colourful but are funny and draw in consumers. Because of them the business has grown, and more and more people are buying m&m’s. these men aren’t just for kids but are appealing to all ages.

The american franchise, Chick-Fil-A is a all chicken fast food restaurant. Their mascot is a cow and in every advertisement its their cows telling everyone to eat the chicken instead of hamburgers. I find this extremely smart advertising and it gets peoples attention and its very different from any other fast food place. Not to mention the food is too die for!

I think Chester Cheetah from Cheetos is a very effective mascot, since it attracts kids with its cool image and style, plus it makes the brand seem fun and daring, which is what they’re essentially trying to transmit the viewer. Chester also has a twitter page in which he is constantly updating the fans; this is a clever way for the company to use social media as a platform to advertise their product. Besides, he wears white shoes and literally nothing else, which I think is pretty cool.

The mascot I believe is the most effective is the gecko lizard from the geico commercials, as they are always funny and are always getting straight to the point about what geico wants you to know…”15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance”. This is a memorable mascot because it is unique, wacky, and funny, as the lizard is usually the only one talking in the ad but gets the massage across still.

This is an essential component since the impression made to one will also provide information on the website service. People will then effortlessly remember what the website is about upon recognizing the mascot.
