Want to know how your dog steals Schmackos? A candid interview series with the dog breeds of Australia aims to find out.
By DDB, the campaign is a digital first for the Schmackos brand and shows dogs admitting to the tactics they use to get themselves some tasty treats.
The campaign will run across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
Mars Petcare marketing director Ben Culligan says: “Schmackos has always focussed on the fun times you spend with your dog and this campaign is a celebration of the hilarious and creative things our dogs will do for treats.”
DDB Melbourne creative director Robbie Brammall says: ““Creating quality social content, in a pragmatic way, is one of our agency’s strengths.
“For this campaign we shot everything in-house, and then used a programmatic approach to stitch the different executions together. The end result is lots of great entertaining content, They should go down pretty well with dog lovers on social media. I don‘t want this to sound like click-bait, but what they say next will shock you.”
