SUMMARY
After 10 years without advertising support, Milk-Bone saw its share dropping within dangerous range of its main competitor, private label. With no new products planned, we needed a way to stay relevant and top-of-mind with consumers. The company wanted to provide dog owners with an emotional reason to believe, so the "Good to Give" campaign was born. By showcasing an existing but under-promoted 12-year relationship with the nonprofit service dog provider Canine Assistants(R), this campaign touched consumers' hearts and effectively increased share, consideration, and awareness across the board.
