The project

Modelo Continente needed a name and personality for a series of animated characters in a TV commercial for the Christmas Toy Fair.

The idea

Popota.

The name Popota was created for the female hippopotamus. A brand character that would return Christmas after Christmas, help consolidate the Continente brand and become the queen of toys at Christmas in Portugal. Named at JWT in 2005 and awarded by the Clube de Criativos.

The result

Popota is now synonymous with Christmas. She represents Continente's values, leads its toy campaigns and has become a highly recognisable image associated with Christmas in Portugal. The naming was created at JWT in 2005 and awarded by the Clube de Criativos.
