Mascot Case Study: TIVO

Several years ago, I saw a photo of TiVo’s CEO. He had a little stuffed TiVo on his desk. Everything about the TiVo character is right. I called TiVo to talk to them about a mascot. Turned out, the people at TiVo were already thinking about a mascot.

TiVo is part of peoples’ lives in their homes. When you’re out and about, you can spot TiVo taking in the scene, as well

Go to SXSW, TiVo’s there
TiVo hangs out in Greenwich Village in NYC,
runs around the the infield in Boston,
goes to Sundance to take in some films
…and TiVo goes to Vegas – to the CES show, the wax museum, Hoover dam —-and, of course the casino!

The TiVo mascot has evolved through time. We had to invent & engineer joiners for the TiVo antenna. TiVo travels and the antenna have to come off for shipping and go on for appearances. It has to be an easy on & off.

“TiVo is a Rock Star! Whenever TiVo® makes an appearance people flock to it! The mascot is a marvelous representative for TiVo–Tivo is fun, modern, lovable and….well…..a star amongst mascots!”
