The Martin Agency has rolled out “This Old Horse” video for Purina, promoting its Equine Senior feed and an initiative whereby the company will donate one dollar to A Home For Every Horse for every bag sold.
With a poem written by horse rescue advocate Jesse Vee serving as inspiration, this moving tug-at-the-heartstrings piece leverages the fact that Purina Equine Senior is the #1 feed used by horse rescue organizations. Directed by Mariah Hammerschmidt of AIM Media, the spot aims to highlight horse rescue awareness and that every horse deserves a good home.
