The Aflac Duck Helps Stamp Out Couples' Growing Medical Bills
COLUMBUS, Ga., May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aflac Duck is trapped
inside a mailbox while attempting to help a couple mail their
household bills in Aflac's newest commercial. "Mailbox" is the 26th
installment in the popular commercial series featuring the spirited
Aflac Duck. The new commercial debuts May 1 during prime time and
evening news hour on ABC, CBS and NBC, and various cable networks.
The Spanish version of the commercial will air on Telemundo,
Telefutura and other Spanish-language networks. "The Aflac Duck
continues his mission of helping customers as he takes on the task
of ensuring that bills are paid while a female policyholder
recuperates from an illness. We believe this new ad demonstrates in
a fun way how Aflac can help people maintain financial independence
during an injury or illness," said Dan Amos, chairman and CEO of
