    Sound on 🔊 La première publicité télé de La Vie™️, au cinéma et sur tous vos écrans à partir du 4 octobre. Qui aurait imaginé il y a 3 ans qu’on lancerait déjà notre toute première publicité télé ? 👀 3 ans ça passe vite, très vite mais ça nous a laissé assez de temps pour : lancer 9 produits, les exporter un peu partout à travers l’Europe au point où un produit La Vie™️ se vend toutes les 4 secondes, lancer notre campagne de Crowdfunding, un restau virtuel disponible à travers toute la France, une gamme de sandwichs, produire une publicité et lancer des nouvelles meatballs (si vous avez réussi à lire tout ça sans reprendre votre respiration inscrivez-vous aux championnats de lecture rapide). Et quand on regarde les chiffres ça donne un peu le vertige…mais quelle fierté. La Vie c’est : - 300 000 cochons sauvés 🐽 - Plus de 6000 tonnes de CO2 économisées 🌿 - des produits disponibles dans 8 200 magasins et restaurants partenaires 🥓 - 45 millions d’euros levés pour accélérer la transition vers le végétal 🏃♂️ Alors merci à toutes les personnes qui rendent cette aventure possible (spoiler alert : On ne compte pas s’arrêter là). Bref, on vous souhaite un bon visionnage. PS : On vous rassure ils sont toujours copains comme cochons 🙂 Featuring Léon, un cochon sauvé de l'abandon sur lequel on vous en dira bientôt plus.
