AN INTERACTIVE CELEBRATION OF LOCAL ARTISANS

Desjardins Epicurean Activation

Gentilhomme teamed up with Desjardins to imagine and deliver an immersive brand activation celebrating local food and beverage entrepreneurs. To spotlight Quebec’s incredible artisans and turn that support into something guests could feel, we built a joyful, interactive experience that brings local products to life. The installation captures the soul of homegrown flavours and transforms it into playful, shareable moments that positions Desjardins as a proud supporter of local entrepreneurs. It toured across seven festivals across Québec between May and September 2025.

OUR VISION

Showcase Desjardins’ commitment to local entrepreneurship through an engaging activation.

Our goal was to go far beyond a traditional brand presence and turn the interaction itself into a celebration of local producers. By pairing advanced digital tools with an experience that feels personal and lighthearted, we created a moment where festival guests connect directly and emotionally with the story of local sourcing.

OUR APPROACH

We crafted interactive content that drops participants into a vibrant, Quebec-inspired landscape projected onto the surrounding screen, featuring elements like hops, vines, milk, berries to highlight various local products. With motion detection, each guest becomes a playful digital avatar tasked with gathering floating particles that represent key ingredients. Once the challenge wraps, a smooth bubble transition leads to a fun final pose, instantly ready to share. The experience ends with a call to action to visit local booths, while reinforcing Desjardins’ role in uplifting the region’s creators and festivals.
