Brief
How can we raise awareness about taking better care of the world’s oceans? What are we doing that inadvertently leads to the destruction of aquatic ecosystems? How can we act more sustainably? And can we turn these lessons into a promotion for Mercator’s Moje znamke (My Brands) products during the summer?
Solution
We opted for an educational sticker album and stuffed sea animal toys for children, as well as a line of sea-friendly products for the whole family. These included towels made from waste plastic carried around by the sea waves and socks and bracelets made from thrown away fishing nets. Above all, we raised awareness with a song and an animated video, which became a children's hit in the summer of 2020. With a billboard covered in sequins, that ripples and reflects light like sunshine on the sea. Like being underwater with our heroes. This was the first billboard of its kind in Slovenia, and won an award!

Project description
With the sticker album, song, dance, and marketing material, Hugo the Octopus, Rozi the Crab, and Živa the Sea Turtle invited children and parents to dive in with them and learn about the underwater world, a world people don’t know everything about. However, we do know how to make sure we don't harm it through our actions.
Customers received a packet of stickers for the album, and coupon stickers for every purchase of a Mercator Moje znamke product. When a customer collected enough coupon stickers, they could redeem them for a sea-friendly product, or cute stuffed toys of Hugo, Rozi, and Živa. The latter were especially popular, as was their song, which became a hit children’s video online.
