Food heroes that children want to collect

For the back-to-school period, Carrefour Market wanted a loyalty campaign that families would enjoy and that carried a positive message: healthy eating can be fun.

Progimpex created the complete campaign: the concept, a family of food hero characters, their names, the savings cards and the plush toys themselves. Children met Astrid Appelsien, Benjamin Broccoli and their friends, each with a message about healthy food.

What we created

  • The concept: A loyalty campaign around healthy eating, made for families.
  • The characters: A collection of fruit, vegetable and bakery heroes, each with its own personality.
  • The names: Easy to remember for children, like Astrid Appelsien and Benjamin Broccoli.
  • The savings cards: Designed in the same style as the characters, so the whole campaign feels like one story.
  • The plush toys: Produced in large quantities, consistent in every batch and safe for children under EN 71.

A complete loyalty campaign from one partner

Most brands come to us with an existing character and a brand book. For a loyalty campaign like this one, we can also create the full package: concept, characters, savings cards and plush toys, produced and delivered by one partner.

  • One partner from idea to shelf: No coordination between a design agency, a printer and a factory.
  • Built for large volumes: A collection of characters, produced consistently for every store.
  • Safe for children: Every plush tested to EN 71.
  • Import and logistics: Delivered on time for the start of the campaign.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the final result. This has been one of our most important projects, and Progimpex delivered exactly what we needed

Since 1998, Progimpex has worked for brands, theme parks, publishers and public institutions that already have a character. We turn that character into plush toys, mascot costumes and merchandise, exactly as in their brand book, produced in larger runs and identical in every reorder. You have one dedicated contact in Belgium, from your first question to delivery.
