Confessional Canine Campaigns

Schmackos' 'Canine Confessions' Hears from Different Breeds

— August 27, 2016 — Pop Culture
As part of its latest campaign, dog treat brand Schmackos released a humorous series of 'Canine Confessions' starring different types of dogs "confessing" to some of their best and worst behaviors.

Some of the beloved breeds that are featured in the comical dog treat campaign include Pugs, Terriers and German Shepherds, all of which confess to using Schmackos as a way to bribe their way to rewards from their owners for good behavior. For instance, the Golden Retriever in this ad says: "If you want to get me into into a warm bath for a soapy massage, well, that's going to take some persuasion—sweet, sweet Schmackos Strapz persuasion."

While the idea of giving animals voices and hearing about the world from their perspectives is nothing new, consumers who are pet owners will find humor in this series of Canine Confessions.
Trend Themes
1. Humorous Pet Campaigns - Creating humorous and relatable content featuring pets can engage and entertain pet owners, leading to increased brand awareness and customer loyalty.
2. Giving Animals Voices - Providing a platform for animals to express themselves can create a unique and engaging marketing campaign that resonates with pet owners and animal lovers.
3. Personification of Pets - Humanizing pets and attributing human-like behaviors to them can generate a sense of connection and emotional attachment, making pet owners more likely to relate to the brand.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Food - The pet food industry can leverage humorous pet campaigns to stand out in a competitive market and connect with pet owners on an emotional level.
2. Advertising and Marketing - The advertising and marketing industry can explore the concept of giving animals voices to create innovative and captivating campaigns for various brands, not limited to pet-related products.
3. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can incorporate the personification of pets in comedic content to target pet owners and animal enthusiasts, creating engaging and shareable content.
