Production house Retriever announced the launch of a new international integrated campaign on behalf of Seresto, aimed at offering a hassle-free solution to the age-old problem of flea and tick protection. The campaign, developed in collaboration with creative agency Organic, consists of live action production of video and still photography content for both the feline and canine product lines, each reframing the flea collar as an enabler of untethered freedom, not a method of restraint. To achieve a carefree ethos, Organic developed a creative concept requiring executional expertise in working with pets, leading them to Retriever to bring the campaign to life. The result is a charming campaign filled with heartwarming on-screen chemistry between actors and animals that can be deployed in practically any international market. The team produced a full-scope library of assets to be used in TV spots, social media, print, retail, and Out-Of-Home. The campaign is now live in France, Italy, Poland, the UK and western Europe.

The Undeniable Voice of Art
Creative Growth, the first organization dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities, has teamed up with creative marketing company, John McNeil Studio to unveil its new brand. Representing 50 years of elevating the work of artists with disabilities within the arts community, Creative Growth’s new brand campaign includes a new identity and logo, new positioning, brand film and a redefined strategy centering on the ‘undeniable voice of art.’ Creative Growth’s evolved brand is at the forefront of a shift towards art that stands for the inherent reveal — the power of artistic expression to bring understanding and connection to us all. The brand’s new expression includes unobtrusive color and design choices that purposely don’t compete with the voice of the artist and instead, serve as a container for the art to have a voice of its own. Executive Creative Director, Gerald Lewis of John McNeil Studio explains “We needed to create a powerful, distinctive voice for the brand. But, it couldn’t compete with the voice of the artists because in the end, the art has to speak. It had to be simple, honest and genuine, in line with the mission of Creative Growth. Artists will spend 30 years making work, honing their craft and following their voice inside this space. We wanted to celebrate that. So, while the mark, the brand, is simple and honest, it’s also expansive and energetic.” Kicking off the new brand campaign is a short film capturing the voice of artist William Scott as he walks through downtown Oakland and enters...
