Aflac’s CSR Efforts Fit the Bill: How a Duck Helped Strengthen the Company’s Reputation

Aflac's modern brand identity was born after the insurance company’s ad team made a striking discovery nearly two decades ago: The sound “Aflac” resembles “quack quack.” The symbol debuted on Jan. 1, 2000 (yes, Y2K), and the rest is history.
