"Taste Magazine France" brings GOLD to Hopscotch Sopexa

The platform, launched in July 2020, was designed at the request of the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food and was born from a simple issue : how to give an international accessible image to French products ? While they have a positive image they still suffer from the perception that they are expensive or too far from local cuisine.  

Hopscotch Sopexa’s expertise in the food sectorits innovative communication ideas, and the trust of its client have made possible to set up the creative concept of Taste Magazine France, a digital ecosystem dedicated to the curious, amateurs and worlwide enthusiasts for gastronomy . Available in six languages (English -UK and US-, German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and French), the goal this ecosystem is to develop the international reputation and attractiveness of French gastronomy and related food products
