Adoptable Case Study 

At Cannes Lions 2024, Pedigree made history with the 'Adoptable' campaign. With over 12 million dogs waiting in shelters, we knew that just making another ad about adoption wasn’t going to cut it. So, we made every ad Adoptable. By using AI, we turned Pedigree's ads into real-time adoption opportunities, featuring actual shelter dogs in need of homes. 50% of the featured dogs were adopted within the first two weeks

As Group Creative Director, this project was a true testament to the incredible talent and collaboration at Colenso BBDO. We also had the pleasure of working with Nexus Studios, who brought their expertise to make this vision a reality.

This is just the beginning for 'Adoptable,' with the technology set to roll out across major markets, helping even more dogs find their forever homes.

While it’s an incredible honour to have won a Grand Prix, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Lions, as well as a Shortlist, the real reward is working with clients who give us the chance to use creativity and technology for good and making a real impact on the world.
