When the language learning app's owl mascot, Duo, first appeared on our TikTok screens, marketers and audiences alike couldn't look away from the unhinged comedy bits and hilarious community engagement. Now, as Duolingo looks to build on its success and evolve the brand for the future, we sit down with its Regional Marketing Director for Europe & LATAM, Rebeca Ricoy, to learn what the future holds for Duo and the other ensemble cast of characters you interact with on the app. Expect to hear why the brand wasn't shy to embrace its intimidating reputation, how they approach local vs global social, and how social is just one piece of a much larger marketing plan.
