ProAgria Inspired Children to Explore the World of Agriculture Through Story-Driven Educational Videos

ProAgria set out to create an engaging and educational video series in which characters Önni Möö and Potato introduce children to the activities and daily work on a farm. The goal was to provide children with a tangible understanding of the farm’s annual cycle and key agricultural events.

1. Starting point

ProAgria wanted to spark children’s interest in Finnish agriculture and provide early childhood education and primary schools with high-quality, easy-to-use learning materials.

The goal was to make learning engaging and memorable by combining entertaining storytelling with educational content.

ProAgria already had a library of learning materials and illustrated characters—but now the aim was to bring them to life through stories and video content. At the same time, the project needed visibility and communications that would also attract new partners and funding.

2. Solution

The campaign was built as a multi-channel concept combining editorial storytelling, video production and targeted distribution.

Otavamedia designed and executed a comprehensive content solution that included educational videos and a native article presenting the project.

The videos were filmed on real Finnish farms to ensure authenticity and relatability. The content was enriched with animations based on ProAgria’s existing characters, allowing children to follow farm adventures with engaging story elements.

The project combined multiple areas of expertise:

✏️ Story-driven scripting

👦 Educational content design tailored for children

🎬 Video production

📹 Animation

🎤 Casting and voice acting

🔎 Editing and post-production

📝 Supporting native article and communications

The content was distributed across YouTube and social media platforms (Instagram and Facebook), supported by both organic and paid promotion. In addition, traffic was driven through Otavamedia’s network to maximize reach and visibility.

The collaboration with Otavamedia—from initial planning to production and launch—was innovative and highly supportive. We shared common goals, and everyone worked towards them. Otavamedia’s team are true professionals, and their passion for agriculture and children truly shone through.
