Kevin the Carrot ranks among top 20 best mascots of all time, study finds
A OnePoll survey of 2,000 adults found humour, catchphrases and jingles help mascots stand out, as Plusnet launched its new character Plusso.
Plusnet commissioned a study of 2,000 adults to celebrate the arrival of its new mascot, Plusso, recently spotted accompanying Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh.
Research by OnePoll revealed that humor , memorable catchphrases , and good jingles are the key ingredients for creating memorable advertising moments.
The study ranked Tony the Tiger , Basil Brush , and the Wombles among the top 20 best mascots, while Kevin the Carrot secured 13 per cent.
Spokesperson Cilesta van Doorn noted that 33 per cent of consumers value playful personalities in mascots; Plusnet is offering a year of free broadband to 100 existing customers.
Walsh, the Girls Aloud star and fellow Yorkshire native, advised consumers to "do a bills MOT once a year" to identify forgotten direct debits and avoid overpaying for contracts.
