The main purpose of this study is to understand the causes of Turkcell GSM company’s success. The triumph of Turkcell, which created accomplished brand awareness and reaches nearly 50 million customers in Turkey, comes from the usage of children named “Cellocanlar” as a brand figure, who are not potentially GSM users, and who have been acting in different ad formats for nearly 16 years., This study suggests that Cellocanlar took a role in ad campaigns and successfully became the brand figure of Turkcell by wearing cute costumes and acting coherently with Turkish culture and social values.
