As part of its ongoing pro bono relationship
with Sydney Dogs & Cats Home, J. Walter Thompson Sydney has launched
a new outdoor campaign.
Says Claire Garth, general manager, Sydney Dogs &
Cats Home: "We are the only pet shelter in Sydney to never place a time
limit on the animals in our care. To remain viable, we rely on the
generosity of the community to ensure we can continue finding new homes
for thousands of abandoned pets every year."
The work taps into the pre-Christmas mindset when people are pre-occupied with shopping.
Says
Garth: "At Christmas time, when people are all wrapped up in the spirit
of giving, we wanted to remind them that giving a rescue pet a home is
the greatest gift of all, and for those unable to adopt, donating to our
cause helps us to continue giving second chances to every animal in
need."

This campaign builds on J. Walter Thompson's previous work for
SD&CH, including the hugely successful #AlmostHomeless campaign
which helped generate the 10,000 signatures needed to lobby the NSW
Government to find a new home for the shelter. As well as the ongoing
#FollowAStray Instagram campaign which aims to turn Travis Barker the
Stray into a celebrity who can raise funds for the shelter through
advertising.
