My team and I launched Purina’s first-of-its-kind fresh refrigerated pet food with a campaign that infused a fresh tone and humor into the 30-year-old Merrick brand. I developed the campaign concept and script, leveraging the human-grade aspect of Merrick Fresh Selects to alert the world that when it comes to being the object of dogs’ obsession, people food has officially been replaced.
“Move over, Fancy Feast. Purrfect Bistro blends classic structure with a dose of personality through its stylized cat illustration and rich, saturated color. The striped top panel cues a bistro-inspired sensibility, elevating the product beyond everyday pet food. It strikes a balance between premium and playful, giving cat treats a more curated, culinary feel.”

To support the launch of Purina’s Petivity smart tech brand, I developed a campaign rooted in a feeling that is deeply resonant for pet owners: If I had known something was going on with my pet in that one moment, how might their story have been different?
Petivity aims to help pet parents detect early signs of health problems in their pets. So while the topic was heavy, my team and I worked to strike a tone that didn’t feel despairing, but hopeful. We conducted interviews with real pet parents and harnessed their powerful and relatable stories to create a spot that invites pet owners to reimagine what the future of pet care could look like.
