The No Kill Louisville ad campaign is sure to attract more eyeballs than a traditional print ad since it mimics lost pet posters that are often found on light posts and fences around residential neighborhoods. Similar to the [Rag & Bone SS11](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rag-bone-ss11-campaign) campaign, by disguising the ads as everyday bulletin posters, people become more drawn to it in order to figure out exactly what it is about.

In this case, the No Kill Louisville ad campaign shows how this company helps [keep precious animals alive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humane-world-for-animals) through necessary medical attention, adoption and donations. Conceived and executed by Roseville-based ad agency Kevin and Carl, these posters will surely strike a cord with people and encourage them to donate themselves.
