Brand Mascots contribute to a higher percentage of brand buzz on social media according to Synthesio. They boost shareability on social media pages such as face book ,twitter.

They are effective tools for social media engagement as consumers tend to prefer interaction with a character or someone/something with a personality than a faceless persona. Brand mascots encourage casual conversation whereas corporate executives wouldn’t execute this effectively.
They also soften the consumer to your message.
