‘Pass Out Cat’ Ranked Among Year’s Best

By Editor, December 2nd, 2011

We knew our “Kitty Massage” and “Pass Out Cat” spots to launch new Cat’s Pride® Fresh and Light™ would be popular among cat lovers.  But we’re pleased to announce that even months after the launch of the campaign, the spots are still getting recognition.

In September, “Pass Out Cat” was named “Spot of the Week” by Shoot Magazine.  Now, it has also been named no. 9 on Shoot’s 2011 Top 10 List for Post/Visual Effects Spots.

The spots were created through a partnership with the Moving Picture Company to create cats doing human-like activities.  The use of advanced CGI technology allowed us to tell stories that depict the bond between pet and owner. We’re honored that Shoot Magazine enjoys this work as much as we do!

Doner Launches a Purr-fect Brand Campaign

By Editor, September 13th, 2011

We proudly introduce a full brand campaign for Cat’s Pride®, our first work for the premium cat litter company.  The campaign includes television, digital, print, trade show promotions, an iPad app for product sellers, and social media, all crafted by us to launch the client’s new product, Fresh & Light™.

This campaign is an excellent example of the integrated work we produce at Doner utilizing our creatives’ talents through Ecosystems, or as they’re known here, “Eco’s”.  Each are populated by creative staff capable of generating and producing ideas on all levels of modern communication and social activity, allowing Cat’s Pride® to establish a strong point of view, represented in every element of the product launch.

We were involved in all aspects of this campaign, starting with name development and package design, through the initial launch of trade show promotions, creative and point-of-purchase.  We plan to continue to help increase awareness of this innovative new product, and will oversee the brand’s social media.  The campaign also utilizes creative media buying,  including upcoming product integrations with major cable networks and publishing groups.

The revolutionary product, which is up to 25 percent lighter than traditional cat litters, begged for a creative campaign for the launch.  As you can see from the featured creative below, we took selling cat litter to a new, humorous direction.  The brand’s lightweight feature also makes it kinder on the environment.

Because of the unique clay blend that provides superior odor control and lightweight benefits, the tagline “Changing Litter For Good™” was chosen.
