Take 18: The Beast and the Blueberry – A Tale of Two Mascots

  • Summary

  • A very special someone just celebrated their fifth birthday: Gritty. That’s right, we’re talking about the seven-foot-tall, googly-eyed, orange-furred mascot of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. Some call him beastly, some call him cuddly, but Philly calls him one of their own.


    The rise of Gritty reflects something we’ve learned from our own work with fruit producer Naturipe and their mascot Mighty Blue: Can a good mascot personify a brand in unique ways and expand its reach to new audiences?
