Petbarn launches Puppy and Kitten Club with suitably cute campaign

Petbarn has launched a free-to-join Puppy and Kitten Club with an adorable new campaign from Howatson+Company.

The Petbarn Puppy and Kitten Club “offers everything pet parents need during the first year of their pet’s life” and is aptly presented by a heartwarming video soundtracked by a cover of perennial hit Love Is All Around, part of an overall campaign that will blend broadcast, digital, and outdoor media.

Howatson+Company’s creative directors, Jared Wicker and Elaine Li, said of the ad: “We needed to show that Petbarn is the place to go for all things puppies and kittens.

“It just so happens that puppies and kittens are the most salient and loved assets of all time. So we went all in on that, from the lyrics of our song, to our set design, to showing as many breeds into the ad as possible.”
