1. Wales By Tails
Grab the pupcorn! This week saw the launch of Visit Wales’ Wales By Tails campaign, which aims to showcase Wales as the ultimutt destination for dog friendly staycations. Following our canine casting call, which received over 4000 entries, six lucky pups were chosen to star in films for the campaign, including a TV ad which premiered during the final episode of ITV’s For the Love of Dogs. The ad was created with dogs in mind, using blue and yellow colours, sounds that dogs love, and a dedicated doggy cam. Using the ad as a hook, we have worked with Visit Wales to promote Wales as the place to go for a trip away with your doggo. Reaching pawrents through print, online and broadcast was a walk in the park for our team of dog-lovers, who secured coverage in the likes of BBC News Wales, Yahoo! News, BBC Radio Cymru and a host of regional titles across the country.
2. A PRIDE-ful partnership
Our client Principality Building Society is gearing up for summer with the announcement of a three-year main stage sponsorship with Wales’ largest grassroots LGBTQ+ charity and festival, Pride Cymru. The renewed partnership comes after the success of the 2023 collaboration with over 50,000 people interacting with Pride Cymru and an estimated £1.2m in economic activity in Cardiff over the weekend. Pride Cymru is a not-for-profit event organised by volunteer members of the LGBTQ+ community from across Wales who also work to eliminate discrimination through the charity’s outreach work.
