Nothing good happens online after 1a.m. Put an end to the embarrassment that follows regrettable, late-night posts!

Pedigree: Write A Post, Help A Dog

Over 4 million dogs wind up homeless each year.

The Pedigree Foundation has created a website with resources for adopting a shelter dog. Included in the website’s information are links to area shelters, articles on responsible dog ownership, and information about how to get a free month of dog food for newly adopted shelter dogs.

Campaign Idea & Objectives:

Pedigree invited people to join them in their efforts to not only feed these dogs without a family, but to encourage individuals to adopt a shelter dog as their next companion. Like Pedigree says, “every dog deserves a healthy and happy life.”

The concept was simple; dog bloggers had to write a blog post about Pedigree’s adoption program before September 19, 2010, and Pedigree promised to donate a 20 pound bag of the company’s new Healthy Longevity dog food to an animal shelter.

Success: 5/5
Virality: 4/5
Innovation: 5/5
Feels like an ad: Yes
Brand visibility: 5/5
