Mascot Design and Brand Character Design

Mascot and Brand Character Design Services

A mascot or brand character is a distinctive and memorable character in the form of animals, people, or other creatures that represents your brand and makes it recognizable. A professionally designed brand mascot can do incredible things for your brand, such as increasing brand awareness, captivating your target audience, and increasing sales by increasing customer engagement.

However, a mascot that is just pleasing to the eye isn’t enough to reinforce your brand identity. With mascot design and brand character design from Saurus, you get a memorable and engaging mascot designed based on your company’s core values and mission and equipped with all the tools necessary to communicate your brand and marketing messages in the best possible way (or make fun of them when the time is right!).

At Saurus, we’ve found that mascots that are thoughtfully designed and based on research and analysis can be truly effective in driving desired business results you want (and filling your pockets in the process!). Our professional and creative mascot designers know exactly how important it’s to have a tangible representation of your business. That’s why, after a detailed analysis, we design original, concept-driven mascots and bring them to life as an actual embodiment of your business.

What Is a Brand Mascot?

A mascot or brand character can be anything from an inanimate object, to a real person or animal, to a completely fictional creation created for the purpose of promoting and embodying a company. Using a mascot is a smart strategy to add a unique touch to your marketing efforts that will appeal to a wider audience.

Well-designed mascots (which are only designed by Saurus!) can evoke emotion from your target audience and strengthen their connection to your company and its products. They can also leave a lasting impression on consumers if their design is creative and conveys the company’s core values. A mascot can help make your brand more familiar to your customers, making your products more appealing to them.

What Are the Benefits of a Brand Mascot?

Using your mascot in all community events, digital marketing campaigns, and the like will strengthen your company’s public image and turn your target audience, who will interact and identify with your brand character, into loyal customers. Therefore, at Saurus, we believe that mascots are great and unmatched marketing tools that offer your brand many benefits, such as:

• It helps increase business exposure and make your brand better known.

An effective mascot is instantly recognizable in the minds of consumers and helps build the reputation of your offering. When your mascot becomes a hit, it also gives you unparalleled brand exposure to your target audience and becomes a powerful marketing tool that increases brand awareness. In short, using a mascot is a great way to get your name out there!

• It helps you connect with your customers on a deeper, more meaningful level and create a sense of belonging.

Since mascots are humanized and personified fictional characters, they’re portrayed with feelings and emotions. You can also tailor your mascot to a specific target audience to better appeal to them. In general, customers who have had a positive experience with your brand and feel a sense of belonging to your brand’s community are more likely to become brand advocates and repeat buyers. So a mascot or brand character is a great tool to get your customers excited about your brand and increase sales by appealing to consumers’ emotions.

• It’s a great tool to tell your brand’s story in an engaging way.

Your company’s mascot is a powerful tool to build relationships with your customers and spread the word about your company. Mascots have human qualities and are more effective communicators than other marketing materials. Therefore, nothing else can tell your brand story so effectively that it sticks in the minds of your target audience and is remembered for a long time.

• It ensures that your branding and marketing efforts are consistent across all media.

With a professionally designed mascot, you can be sure that all of your promotional materials have the same feel and style. Being consistent in your marketing efforts will also help you gain the trust of your customers and build a relationship with them. If you want to get the most out of your brand mascot, we suggest that you use it in all (or almost all!) of your promotional materials so that consumers become more familiar with it.

• It can improve employee engagement and morale.

If you manage to create a mascot that your employees are proud of and can identify with, they’ll become more involved in your company and more committed to its goals. This will boost the morale of your employees and create a pleasant atmosphere in your company. And you probably know that employees who have a positive attitude toward their company are more committed to their customers and contribute to the company’s success (you better believe it because we speak from experience!).

• It can be a much better brand ambassador than a celebrity.

One problem with using celebrities as brand ambassadors is that they might lose their popularity and damage your company’s reputation, even if they no longer officially represent your company (you know what we mean, right?!). However, if you create a mascot or brand character for your brand and send it out as a brand ambassador, you can be sure that it won’t cause bad publicity or unwanted controversial rumors for your brand because you’re in control of its every dialog and move.

By now, you probably understand what a mascot is and how it can be useful for your business. But you may have another question in mind, namely, “Does my company need a mascot?”. There’s no one-size-fits-all, simple answer to that, but in general, brands in the food and technology industries, as well as healthcare, insurance, banking, advertising, and e-commerce, are ideal candidates for mascots. However, a well-thought-out mascot design has proven to be beneficial for many companies in other industries as well. So if you’re not sure if you need a mascot, just give us a call for a free consultation. But don’t wait until the last second because there are thousands of businesses waiting to use Saurus’s mascot design and brand character design services so they can survive the coming ice age!
