Seven years inside a national pharmacy network.

Since 2019 we've run Farmacias Benavides' digital side: social media on every platform, the website, eCommerce campaigns and landing pages, a 3D character, and the visual system that ties it all together.

The challenge

In 2019, one of Mexico's best-known pharmacy chains had a website that no longer told its story, and social channels that hadn't yet become a place to talk with its customers.

01 · Facebook and Instagram

Close, trusted, and there every day.

We took over strategy and management of both channels in 2019. Since then, the brand has spoken with one visual voice through every stage, every key campaign and every change in how people shop.

02 · LinkedIn

The largest pharmacy community on LinkedIn in Mexico.

We've grown it since 2020, entirely organically. Today it's a key space for professionals in the sector, and the channel where Benavides publishes its job openings.

+198.94%

community growth, to more than 81,000 followers.

All organic, with more than 20 posts a month and over 1.5 million impressions a year.

03 · TikTok
Health and wellbeing, for Gen Z.

In 2023 we launched the official channel, with a younger, more relaxed voice.

Native, useful and fun.

Medical advice, over-the-counter products and wellness tips, made for the platform. The videos drew comments and saves, and positioned the brand as close, relevant and trusted on everyday health.

04 · Fabean, 2022–2025

A character made to help, who became the brand's best-loved face.

We created Fabean, an original 3D character, to put a human face on customer service. He quickly outgrew the job: he renewed the brand's visual tone, brought three-dimensional elements into its communication and set Benavides apart online.

+40 versions of Fabean

He adapts to campaigns, seasons and moments (Christmas, Halloween, holidays, a kids' version) and keeps the communication fresh and consistent.

  • Fabean: Delivery, on his scooter
  • Fabean: Águilas de Mexicali, baseball
  • Fabean: Valentine's Day, as Cupid
  • Fabean: Independence Day, with the Mexican flag
  • Fabean: Halloween, as Frankenstein
  • Fabean: Fuerza Regia, basketball
  • Fabean: Summer, in a hammock
  • Fabean: Rayadas, football
  • Fabean: Halloween, as a vampire
  • Fabean: In a guayabera
  • Fabean: American football
  • Fabean: With a sarape
  • Fabean: Sultanes de Monterrey, baseball
  • Fabean: Thinking
  • Fabean: Tigres UANL, football

05 · Website, 2020

The ground for an eCommerce.

The old site no longer reflected the brand's purpose or how far it had come. We rebuilt it with the technology behind platforms like Uber, Netflix and Facebook: an informative site, made for search and for the customer, ready to grow into a store.

06 · Seasonal campaigns

Buen Fin, Hot Sale, Cyber Sale: every channel, at once.

In every high-traffic season we run an end-to-end digital strategy, lining up every channel and every touchpoint to get the most out of it.

  1. 01

    eCommerce.

    Main banners, categories, featured products, headers, footers and the mobile version.

  2. 02

    Social media.

    A themed calendar, daily posts, reels, stories and copy for each promotion.

  3. 03

    Support pieces.

    Digital price tags, cross promotions, delivery modules and landing pages.

  4. 04

    Paid media.

    Meta Ads, Google Display, campaigns by location and purchase intent, and remarketing.

A master for every moment of the year.

07 · Landing pages and eCommerce

Designers and developers, as an extension of their team.

More than ten landing pages a year, designed and built from scratch for special campaigns, Benamedic, the blog and Rosa Fuerte, five of them directly in the Magento store. And every month, more than 70 banners for the store and the app.

Campaigns that went beyond digital.

Over time the creative work grew with the brand, and our campaigns started living outside the screen too, across new channels and formats.

09 · A new visual system for digital

Consistent, not restrictive.

Benavides needs a stronger, more recognizable visual language without limiting its ability to adapt. The new system creates a consistent foundation across channels and agencies, while giving campaigns enough freedom to stand out when needed.

  1. 01

    One brand, one visual language.

    Basic Sans becomes the institutional typeface, supported by consistent rules for color, layout, photography and hierarchy.

  2. 02

    A modular system.

    Brand elements live within a recognizable framework, while campaign content can evolve independently without diluting the Benavides identity.

  3. 03

    Freedom within the system.

    Short-term campaigns can introduce more expressive visual elements, while permanent and recurring communications remain firmly anchored to the core brand.

“After seven years, WAOF doesn't feel like an agency. They know our brand as well as we do, and they keep finding new ways to bring it closer to the people we care for.”
