This kennel is filled with adorable campaigns that brought humans' best friends into play, making companionship synonymous with their proposition
Protecting us, showering us with drooling love, always being by our side, changing the melancholic times, till nourishing the mental health of healthcare workers during this pandemic, dogs have unfailingly been humans' best friends in every sense. Brand's friendship oriented works featuring humans & dog campaigns have reflected that over the years.
From the Greek & Hindu mythologies of 'Argos & Odysseus' and 'Yudhishthira' till several real-life & real-time examples, this phrase has stuck with humanity (like dogs) for ever. The universal insight has been brought into play by several global and regional brands too.
Brings It Back created by BBDO (Brazil) with the animation directed by Fabiano Broki, for Pedigree, depicts what dogs fetch us back, and how they can fill a hole in our heart.
The Man & The Dog, created by DDB (Argentina) for Fundación Argentina de Trasplante Hepático (FATH), a foundation for transplantations, beautifully sums up a dog's love in the climax and also communicates their message powerfully. The campaign is written by Leandro Custo, and directed by Rodrigo Garcia Saiz.
