The campaign unveils Hartz's fresh brand platform, entitled "unconditional love." It celebrates the shared life – a two-way relationship – between owners and their furry friends by providing brief, authentic glimpses into the challenges and rewards of pet parenthood.
The first wave of creativity brings to life how cats and dogs need all the unconditional love that they can get during the flea & tick season, thanks to the absolute comfort (an often overlooked benefit) of UltraGuard ProMax and plant-based ingredients of Nature’s Shield.
Protection equals freedom outdoors as well as more precious cuddle and snuggle time.
The director was Rodrigo Garcia Saiz of the production company Central Films North. Editorial and VFX were executed by Acreage Editorial and Warm & Fuzzy, respectively.
The work marks several milestones, such as the new logo, tagline, and sonic identity for Hartz. It also comes on the heels of the “Deliciously De-Lick-able Delectables” campaign for Delectables wet cat treats and the “#MyOinkiesFace” social media push for the recently rebranded Oinkies dog treats.
The media strategy boasts a robust buy across nationwide digital, social, display, and search channels. Retailers include Amazon, Chewy, and Walmart.
