Nickelodeon's new animated preschool series, Butterbean’s Café
Preschoolers will be whisked away on magical culinary adventures in Nickelodeon’s brand-new CG-animated series, Butterbean’s Café, premiering Monday 4th February 2019 on Nick Jr. Africa. The series (40 episodes), which centers on a fairy named Butterbean and her adventures running her neighborhood café and bakery, will feature guest voice appearances by top celebrity chefs and culinary experts: Richard Blais (Top Chef, Guy’s Grocery Games), Alton Brown (Good Eats, Iron Chef America), Carla Hall (The Chew, Top Chef), Padma Lakshmi (Top Chef), Giada De Laurentiis (Giada at Home) and Rachael Ray (The Rachael Ray Show). Created by Robert Scull and Jonny Belt (Bubble Guppies), Butterbean’s Café showcases creative cooking and features a curriculum with social-emotional lessons that highlight kindness and gratitude, and leadership skills.
In the series, Butterbean (Margaret Ying Drake), her fairy friends--Dazzle (Olivia Grace Manning), Poppy (Kirrilee Berger) and Jasper (Koda Gursoy)--and her little sister Cricket (Gabriella Pizzolo) take pride in serving up healthy snacks and sweet treats to the residents in their community of Puddlebrook. Butterbean’s special magic beans, the fairies’ enchanted kitchen tools and the team’s can-do spirit all combine to make their cafe the most awesome eatery in town.
In Butterbean’s Café’s series premiere, “The Grand Opening!,” Butterbean and her friends work together to make the opening of the café a success, while competing café owner Ms. Marmalady (voiced by Alysia Reiner of Orange Is the New Black) attempts to throw them off track.
Butterbean’s Café made its world debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Monday 12th November 2018, and will be rolling out on Nickelodeon’s international channels and branded blocks throughout 2019.

Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has entrusted ZooCom, the creative media agency of the Milan-based OneDay Group, with Nickelodeon International's festive creative campaign to promote the launch of Nickelodeon's Christmas highlights on the channel's social and digital networks! The campaign, titled "Xmas Tunes", has rolled out on Nickelodeon channels around the world, including Italy (Italia), France, Spain (España), Portugal, Germany (Deutschland), Austria (Österreich), Switzerland (Schweiz), Netherlands (Nederland), Belgium (België), Africa, Greece (Ελλάδα), and the Middle East.
The theme chosen for Nickelodeon International's Christmas 2018 campaign is universally loved by Generation Z'ers: Music. Throughout the month of December, the star of Nickelodeon's official social channels will be the Nick Xmas Band: a real rock band consisting of SpongeBob SquarePants, JoJo Siwa, and characters from The Loud House and Henry Danger.
The creative campaign, which also includes influencer marketing and community management activities, was conceived and produced by ZooCom, who has built up an extensive knowledge base of Generation Z over the years, supplemented by the latest trends that emerged from the "Z Factor" research study conducted by ZooCom itself with the collaboration of Havas Media, on the ScuolaZoo community, the media brand of three million Italian students. Thanks to these new insights, ZooCom has created a multi-channel campaign for Nickelodeon that spans Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
ZooCom has developed bespoke content for each channel that rides the wave of the most engaging trends for Gen Z: through video, gaming and music and in general fun and interactive content.
For each channel, ZooCom has developed bespoke content that features some of the most engaging trends popular among Gen Z'ers: video, gaming and music, and, generally fun and interactive content.
Four music videos link the entire campaign together. The videos reimagines SpongeBob SquarePants, JoJo Siwa, and characters from The Loud House and Henry Danger as rock stars interpreting hit Christmas songs. Shared through YouTube and Facebook, these videos are posted on social media accompanied by banners, cards, interactive posts and animated GIFs that reproduce scenes from fan-favourite shows that invite kids to follow the Nick Xmas Band on Nickelodeon.
Not only that, data from the "Z Factor" research study found that Generation Z still watches a lot of television, however, they nearly always have a smartphone in their hand whilst watching TV, hence the idea of interactive stories on Instagram, which feature characters of the campaign encouraging viewers to vote for their favourites, providing viewers with a double experience: television and social.
"The experience and the deep knowledge that ZooCom is proving to have on Generation Z allows us to develop targeted campaigns that cross Italian borders for international clients", comments Alessandro Fedeli, ZooCom Account Manager. Viacom is the first example of a international broadcasting service with a global audience that is looking for partners who are able to interpret generational needs beyond national borders, designing campaigns that integrate channel stars with the trends that regulate the daily lives of children.
ZooCom firma il lancio sui social del palinsesto natalizio di Nickelodeon
La campagna prevedrà attività di influencer marketing e community management rivolte alla Generazione Z e sarà diffusa a livello internazionale
Viacom International Media Netwroks ha affidato a ZooCom, la creative media agency del gruppo OneDay, la campagna creativa internazionale per lanciare il palinsesto natalizio di Nickelodeon sui social network e digital del canale. La campagna sarà diffusa in Italia, Francia, Spagna, Portogallo, Germania, Svizzera, Austria, Benelux, Africa e Medio Oriente.
Il tema prescelto è quello preferito dalla Generazione Z: la musica. Per tutto il mese di dicembre protagonista dei social media del canale Nickelodeon sarà la Nick Xmas Band, una vera e propria rock band costituita da Spongebob, Jojo Siwa e i personaggi di A Casa dei Loud e Henry Danger.
La campagna è stata ideata e pianificata da ZooCom sulla base della pluriennale conoscenza dell’agenzia del target GenZ, approfondita dagli ultimi trend emersi dalla ricerca “Z Factor” condotta da ZooCom stessa con la collaborazione di Havas Media, sulla community ScuolaZoo, il media brand di tre milioni di studenti italiani. Grazie a questi nuovi insight, ZooCom ha pensato per Nickelodeon una campagna multi-canale che coinvolge Instagram, Youtube e Facebook. Su ciascun canale si svilupperanno contenuti che cavalcano l’onda dei trend più engaging per la GenZ: attraverso video, gaming e musica e in generale contenuti divertenti e interattivi.
A legare tutta la campagna quattro video musicali che vedono Spongebob, Jojo Siwa, i personaggi di A Casa dei Loud e di Henry Danger, nelle vesti di rockstar che interpretano le canzoni natalizie. Condivisi attraverso Youtube e Facebook, questi video sono diffusi sui social accompagnati da banner, card, post interattivi e GIF che riproducono scene delle loro serie preferite che invitano i ragazzi a seguire la Nick Xmas Band su Nickelodeon.
Non solo, uno dei dati emersi dalla ricerca Z Factor rivela che la Generazione Z guarda ancora molto la televisione ma lo fa sempre con uno smartphone in mano, da qui l’idea delle stories interattive su Instagram, che mettono a confronto i personaggi protagonisti della campagna chiedendo loro di votare il migliore, ingaggiando il target e fornendogli una doppia esperienza: televisiva e social.
«L’esperienza e la profonda conoscenza che ZooCom sta dimostrando di avere sulla Generazione Z ci permette di sviluppare campagne a target che travalicano i confini italiani per clienti internazionali – commenta Alessandro Fedeli, Account Manager di ZooCom. – Viacom è il primo esempio di broadcasting media dal pubblico internazionale che cerca partner in grado di interpretare le necessità generazionali al di là dei confini nazionali, ideando campagne che integrano le icone del canale con le tendenze che regolano la vita quotidiana dei ragazzi».
