Two insurers are finding new ways to use their spokesmascots.
Aflac Inc., Columbus, Ohio, a worksite benefits company, has included the Aflac Duck in a new television commercial that shows him driving a NASCAR race car – and inadvertently blinding the other drivers with his feathers.
The 30-second spot, which also features NASCAR driver Carl Edwards asking, “Well, if you’re ever sick and can’t work, Aflac pays cash fast to help keep you in the race, right?” is set to air nationwide Sunday during the Kobalt Tools 500 race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, then run on major broadcast networks and cable channels starting Monday.
