A Bone-A-Fide Launch for Olymel

introduction

In April 2025, Franchir teamed up with Olymel to create a signature event celebrating the brand’s refreshed positioning. New products, culinary innovations, and the expertise of Olymel’s specialists took center stage—highlighting the company’s local pride and the quality and flavor of its pork offerings.

To mark the launch, Olymel brought together media and content creators for a hands-on cooking workshop led by corporate chef Marc Laroche and orchestrated by the Franchir team. Guests—well-known figures from the lifestyle and foodie scenes—came together for an event that was truly Bon à l’os
