Kleenex searches for new animal brand ambassador in latest campaign

Kleenex has been running a brand campaign to find a new ‘spokes-animal’ for its new toilet paper product, Kleenex Complete Clean, after allegedly reconsidering the role of its long-standing puppy.

Created by J Walter Thompson, the first ad shows a man holding well-known ambassador, the Kleenex Puppy, before saying that the “superior toilet paper” may need a “superior spokes-animal”. The ad suggests the brand has doubts the puppy can continue to represent the new toilet paper, and goes on to tell consumers it will be holding auditions for a new spokesperson.
