A partnership anchored by shared values
The famous brand with the red bull cultivates pleasure, know-how and audacity day after day. These values are deeply rooted in its DNA and are inseparable from handball, France's most successful team sport. Just as handball embodies passion and determination on the court, Babybel® embodies fun and quality in every bite.
As an official supporter of the French Handball Federation, Babybel will benefit from on-the-ground visibility at French handball team matches, as well as a wide range of partner events (digital activations, operations with players, match-day hospitality, private training sessions).
Philippe BANA, President of the French Handball Federation "We are delighted to welcome Babybel® as a new partner of the French Handball Federation. This partnership is a union of values between two entities that share the same passion for sport, pleasure and wellbeing. Babybel® perfectly embodies the spirit of fun and conviviality that characterizes handball. We are convinced that this alliance will reinforce our shared commitment to promoting a healthy, active lifestyle."
Grégoire ARGAND, Marketing Manager Bel France "The partnership between Babybel® and the French Handball Federation goes far beyond a simple commercial collaboration. It's the union of a brand made in France and two of the world's most successful national teams, united by a shared commitment to sport, health and pleasure. Our aim is to accompany young and old alike in their daily lives with a healthy snack and to encourage them to adopt an active lifestyle."
Benjamin DEBLICKER, SVP Sales SPORTFIVE France "We're delighted to have worked with Babybel® and the French Handball Federation on this exciting partnership. The alliance of these two players who share the same passion and values was an obvious one. We are delighted to support the brand in its activation strategy and the production of content around the partnership."
