Branding Mr Bean (20 May)
TV and Film character Mr Bean waving.

A new resource looking at the development of the Mr Bean brand. Mr Bean is now a well known brand but it never started out that way! The idea for a comedy featuring a hapless character seemed the perfect vehicle for the talents of Rowan Atkinson. The character became incredibly successful and with this success came the development of the Mr Bean brand.
