2. This is the POWER of Mnemonics

3. MNEMONICS- AN INTRODUCTION

that aids memory.

old brain is 40 times faster than the
auditory nerve which is connected from
the ear to the brain1.

4. REAL SUCCESS IS IN THE POWER OF ‘RECALL’
• Brand mascots could become a strong element
for point of difference and to create a better
brand recall.
• A classic example for this is the Amul Girl who
has become synonymous with Amul Butter.
Every onlooker can unmistakably identify the
cute girl wearing a polka dotted frock, acting as
the Vox Populi on contemporary issues.
• A brand mascot does the job of personifying
the brand very effectively. A product like flour
would have stayed a commodity with hardly any
distinctive positioning element to create an edge
over the competition.
• The Pillsbury Doughboy changed this myth. It
was named as Poppin Fresh. This exemplified
the whole idea of the freshness of dough to
perfection and created an instant recall for the
brand.

5. SOME USEFUL TIPS
• Mnemonic should match with Brand Personality.
• It should appear as one unit along with Brand Logo.
• Check the appearance of the mnemonic in black and white.
• A mnemonic should be delivered through every element of the
marketing mix.
• A mnemonic will get associated with a Brand name over a period of
time.
• They stay the exclusive property of the brand and hence can be used
for timeless campaigns.
