'HB-Männchen Bruno' was one of the most successful advertising characters at the time of the German economic boom, or Wirtschaftswunder, in the 1950s and early 1960s. His popularity even exceeded that of the federal chancellor. It is widely accepted among advertising experts that ‘Bruno’ may be considered as a 'classic example of efficient brand guidance'. This article traces the history of the origins of this advertising character and its underlying advertising strategy.

The essay thus contributes towards the history of advertising, consumption and mentalities in the Federal Republic of Germany.... view less
