Meet Nigel,
the beloved all-knowing Xyzal mascot.
In 2022, our Animation team at Media.Monks took on the task of revamping Nigel, the time-honored animated mascot of Sanofi's Xyzal, and preparing him for all the adventures yet to come. With the prestigious duty of carrying on Nigel’s legacy, we did our best to give him the makeover he deserved.

Lights, Camera, Action!
With Nigel modelled, rigged and textured, he was ready for the spotlight!
We created two separate 15-second TVCs with rich textures, complex movements, and distinct environments to showcase Nigel as he moved through his world from morning to night, free of allergy symptoms.
