First campaign from BMF for Petbarn since winning creative account

Petbarn has released its first campaign with BMF, launching its new brand platform “Life’s a Treat”.

The campaign is the first campaign by BMF for Petbarn, after winning the creative account in February 2021.

Each spot consists of a different pet, from dogs to cats to a goldfish to a lizard, explaining the pet’s obliviousness to the benefits they receive because their owner shops at Petbarn.

Dantie van der Merwe, creative director at BMF, said: “It doesn’t take much to make pets happy. Sometimes it takes just exactly the right thing. We hope it brings a knowing smile to both pets and pet parents everywhere.”

Adriane McDermott, chief marketing officer at Petbarn, said: “Everything we do and everything we range at Petbarn helps make ‘life a treat’ because we believe pet’s health and wellness leads to everyone’s happiness. We know they’re more than pets, BMF helped us show we’re much more than just a pet store.”

The campaign will be on TV, BVOD, Out-Of-Home, display, radio, and social.

One of the OOH assets for the campaign

BMF’s recent campaigns include work for Golden, Aldi, and Tourism Tasmania.

OMD was awarded Petbarn’s media account in December last year.
