OVERVIEW

Background

There are more than 35mn stray dogs relying on the food given by the people feeding them. During COVID they were not properly fed as people were locked inside. Pedigree wanted to help these not only during the COVID but make feeding the strays a general habit among people.

In India, pet food is not considered as the first thing to feed pets. People generally rely on home cooked food which is not suitable for pet’s nutrition. Pedigree in India from years is trying to change this habit and therefore pedigree was a natural choice for food in difficult times.

People realized while feeding their stray pets that pets not only love pet food but it was also a complete diet. It brought cheer not only for pets but also changed consumers mindset towards pedigree and pet food.

Strategy

The campaign was planned in 3 stages:

• Awareness

• Engagement

• Participation

Awareness was about reach. Being able to expose the communication to as much audience as possible. For this we planned for:

• Reach: 65mn

• Impression: 69mn

• Views:53mn

For Engagement we tied up with Bollywood A-lister and digital influencers to drive the message of feeding the strays.

Besides the celebs we partnered with ‘Humans of Bombay’ showcasing each and every person is unique, inspirational, and relatable. they have successfully built a community of over 2.29 million people who believe in the power of humanity.

For participation, we also partnered with year long DonateKart – A donation website – for people to go there and donate pedigree for the stray dogs.

By this we were not only able to reach the volume but also the cater to the value against which this thought was based.

Execution

The campaign was live on three handles encouraging people Feed the Strays or donate via Donate Kart

• OLV – For Reach

• Influencer – Engagement

• User Generated Content – Participation

For OLV partnered with Zee5 which helped in creating 35s & 20s video for awareness about feeding the strays. The video creation and promotion on Zee5 has shared 100% media investment return in form of media bought

This content was also disseminated on YouTube on the Dog affinity audience.

We also partnered with Hansika Motwani garnering 1min video views sharing their story of feeding the stray dog.

Pedigree also tied up with the Donate Kart in a year long partnership where people can donate Pedigree to be fed to the stray dogs and volunteers from Donate Kart will go and feed them.

Showcasing this initiative we also curated Real-Life Stories of people feeding through Humans of Bombay
