Using Character Animation in TV Commercials

Why Use an Animated Character?

Animation is flexible and appealing. Animated characters are unique and have an amazing resonance with audiences of all types.

Samples of Great Animated Characters

Here are good reasons why animated characters enhance branding.

The Pillsbury Doughboy

Since 1965, the Pillsbury Doughboy’s silly giggle kept the manufacturing company at the forefront of dining tables around the world.

Spongebob Squarepants

The beloved character has actually never appeared in a commercial. But there isn’t a marketer out there that wouldn’t kill to get him in one.

Kellogg’s

Kellogg’s did well with animated characters. They had a mascot for almost all their cereals. There was Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam, and Snap, Crackle and Pop. The competition ran to keep up, creating the likes of the Trix Rabbit, the Keebler Elves, and Lucky the Leprechaun.

Why They’re Effective

Animated characters are fun to watch as they hand out complex information. Animation frees the imagination and lets you create entire worlds that become associated with your brand. It’s why so many companies are historically and gladly associated with them. Animation also lets you use environments not accessible by live crews.
