since december 1999, the company's identity and brand has become more widely recognized in the united states as the result of tv commercials featuring the aflac duck, who frustratedly quacks the company's name to unsuspecting prospective policy holders. the duck concept and all of the commercials to date have been created by kaplan thaler group, an advertising agency based in new york city. metzer farms, a gonzales, california goose, duck, and gamebird hatchery, supplied them with the initial ducklings that each grew into the famous duck. struggling to come up with a concept to make the big but relatively obscure insurance company's name memorable, one of the agency's art directors stumbled upon the duck idea while walking around central park at lunchtime uttering, "aflac, aflac." he soon realized how much the company's name sounded like a duck's quack. the aflac duck character has now starred in more than 30 commercials. in many of these commercials, character actor earl billings also appears. the aflac duck is enshrined on madison avenue's walk of fame as one of america's favorite advertising icons.
