VLAM promotes regional products in Flanders, and thus our Belgian fries. Our Belgian gold is so important that a whole week is set aside for it.
During the #weekvandefriet, our Belgian fries culture and our famous fry shops are key. VLAM came to SUPERMACHINE & Walkie Talkie to give that week an extra boost, through strong creative campaigning, influencer collaborations and press attention. And that for three consecutive years:
The first year, we had fun sharing our fries with some Belgian statues. We provided several of them with a custom-made puntzak filled with fries. Bon appetit!
The following year, among other things, we hijacked some more cultural heritage: the Flemish song of life. Through street art creations and some fiddling with song lyrics, some Flemish classics were transformed into an ode to our fried potatoes.
As icing on the cake -or mayonnaise on the fries- we inaugurated the statue of "De Frieteters" (=the French fry eaters) in Bruges accompanied by Prince Laurent and Hilde Crevits. The statue will remain there for a year and invites passers-by to enjoy a delicious portion of fries together... Amazing!
