Charlie the Tuna
Mascot and spokes-tuna of StarKist
Not to be confused with Charlie Tuna or Chali 2na.
Fictional character
Charlie the Tuna is the cartoon mascot and spokes-tuna for the StarKist brand.
He was created in 1961 by Tom Rogers[1] of the Leo Burnett Agency.[2] StarKist Tuna is owned by Dongwon Industries, a South Korea–based conglomerate.[3] Charlie is one of the most recognized characters in American advertising.[4]
History
Creation
Charlie the Tuna was based on Tom Rogers' friend Henry Nemo.
Nemo is known as the "creator of jive", which resembles the loose-lipped slang used by Charlie the Tuna.[5]
Campaign
The advertisements depicted Charlie (voiced by actor Herschel Bernardi) as a hipster, originally a lower class New York accented beatnik wearing a beret and thick glasses who believes that his hip, cultured "good taste" make him a perfect catch for StarKist, but he is always rejected.
