Sculpture assisted Familiprix in the revamp of its digital marketing strategy and brand identity on social media.
This partnership injected fresh energy into the iconic Quebec-based banner, with over 45 years of history and 400 branches. Familiprix's objective is to support its online clientele by fostering kindness and well-being on a daily basis, while returning to the fundamental purpose of a pharmacy: health.

05. Reach
From the start, we approached family life with humour, demystifying sensitive and taboo subjects. We fearlessly delved into topics related to sexuality, mental health, nutrition, and environment. This approach enabled us to convert younger users by positioning ourselves as a reliable and current content source.
01. Competitive, market, and target audience analysis
02. Case studies of influential brands on social media
03. Planning of annual digital actions
04. Creation of monthly content calendars
05. Multi-platform cohesion and convergence strategy
06. Consistency between online and in-store messaging
Special attention was given to shades and colours, creating a tonal system that has become our distinctive visual signature. Through this approach, we are able to easily adapt various types of content while maintaining a harmonious visual coherence that evolves with the seasons.
01. Creation of visual and editorial guidelines, content library, and brand guide
02. Art direction with templates for visual elements, animations, and illustrations
We developed a clear visual structure by creating content templates that adapt to the brand's communication challenges. In order to stand out while respecting budgets, we focused on illustrative elements and easily adaptable concepts. Leveraging our existing image bank, we created interactive games, impactful taglines, and playful content to attract, convert, and retain subscribers while remaining accessible and engaging.
01. Editorial direction with templates for taglines, blog posts, and releases
02. Copywriting of captions, visual text, and keywords search (FR + EN)
03. Translation, New Brunswick localization, adaptation to diverse target audiences, and legal approval management
04. Multi-platform programming and rollout : FB, IG, LI, emails, website
05. DM management and transfer to relevant teams
06. Monitoring and response to comments
One of our major accomplishments during our mandate was the creation of a new internal department at Familiprix, specifically dedicated to digital suppliers. This structure was put in place to facilitate social media monetization through a media placement strategy developed in collaboration with partner brands in-store. This allowed the creation of blog posts with featured products and cross-platform branded campaigns.
01. Content monetization and media campaign strategy
02. Production of search engine optimized (SEO) content and paid advertising (SEM) (FR + EN)
03. Media placement and promotion
04. Advertising : Meta Business Manager, Google AdWords and Display
Following the implementation of the strategy, the subscriber base experienced significant growth from 1,000 to 26,000 subscribers over three years. This represents an average annual growth rate of 192%. However, beyond the numbers, this success also relies on a close collaboration with the internal team. Throughout the mandate, Sculpture adapted to the existing processes, provided about ten training sessions to employees, and offered personalized support to share our knowledge. This approach has promoted team autonomy, ensuring the brand's online sustainability and coherence.
01. Performance assessment and quarterly strategy updates
We leveraged the expertise of various spokespersons affiliated with Familiprix by creating informative segments through IG takeovers, while also encouraging user-generated content (UGC). Among our partners, author and nutritionist Hubert Cormier provided insightful answers to users’ questions regarding nutrition.
01. Engagement with subscribers and online content creators
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic presented several PR challenges in the health industry. Many people turned to pharmacies to seek reassurance. Our goal was to communicate public health guidelines and, most importantly, to show kindness in the face of widespread anxiety. As part of the "Ça va bien aller" (Everything will be OK) movement, we specifically invited children to colour a drawing and display the result in their home windows. This initiative generated UGC to spread a positive and unifying message during this difficult period. Many influencers also joined us, demonstrating their support for our initiative.
