You probably remember one or more mascots that represent a particular brand. Is it the Haribo bear, the Pirelli Man, or the mascot of your favorite soccer team? They all have something in common—they make brands relatable, they evoke emotions, and... they make you remember the brand.
But it doesn't always have to be a mascot. Characters are storytellers, brand ambassadors, emotional links between brand and consumer.
That's precisely why character design is so incredibly exciting!
