WildBrain CPLG has secured a deal on behalf of LINE FRIENDS for a branded activation at Brighton-based ARTBOX Café.
Following its launch on December 12, the LINE FRIENDS at ARTBOX Café partnership is now underway and sees ARTBOX Café utilising LINE FRIENDS’s BROWN & FRIENDS and BT21 characters across the takeaway and sit-down café.
The café has been renamed ‘LINE FRIENDS & BT21 Tasty Universe’ and a branded eat-in menu has been introduced with a range of savoury dishes, desserts and drinks. Themed ice creams are also available from its takeaway parlour.
The cafe’s shop is selling products from UK licensees including GB eye, Paladone and Aurora, alongside its own exclusive collection of pins, tote bags, mugs, face masks and notebooks.
LINE FRIENDS characters decorate ARTBOX’s exterior and interior, with the café’s windows displaying a range of merchandise.
