The challenge is to create a campaign that positions St-Michel as the benchmark for the well-made snack for the whole family, while speaking to both children and adults with funny, absurd but never infantilizing stories.
The unique space that the snack is in children's daily lives, a free moment, without constraint during which they can express their personality and their imagination in a joyful and spontaneous way.
A series of films featuring famous and wacky historical figures wondering who invented the snack, with a transversal signature: "St Michel Snacks, the best time is 4pm!" and a new brand signature: "We don't know who invented the snack, but we know who made it too good".
Strengthen St-Michel's image as a connected brand, which demonstrates the link between a heritage recognized by all and the connection with the new expectations of consumers, whether in terms of modern advertising discourse or products.
