Embracing the comfort of Sweet Home Kaytee
Sweet Home Kaytee was a creative campaign developed and designed by STIR to evoke emotions related to the warmth of being home with loved ones – particularly pets who are considered family members and birds considered friendly neighbors. The goal of Sweet Home Kaytee was to connect to the brand’s audience in a meaningful, engaging way as well as to drive website traffic.
The copy was written in the format of real estate ads, describing various areas of the home. The posts promoted products and conveyed that Kaytee fulfills pets’ lives and keeps them happy and healthy.
STIR was responsible for scouting the talent for each photoshoot, including pets and representative pet parents. Three on-site shoots were coordinated to capture authentic, sweet moments between people and animals.
Key campaign deliverables included:
- Creative concepting: STIR developed the overarching theme and campaign name, voice and tone, and other key campaign elements
- Three photoshoots
- Creative production
- Social media strategy and copywriting
