Description:

Taking a stand against fake pet food

ABOUT:

Behind our best friend’s meals there’s a complex process that transforms various ingredients into countless bits of kibble through grinding, refining and compacting. But how healthy is this stuff? It turns out that many of the pet food brands rely quite heavily on “meat meal”. This ultra-processed and pulverised mix made from rotten meat scraps has shown to take a toll on our pets’ health and lifespan. It’s from this upsetting truth that Edgard & Cooper was born, a pet food brand with a mission: to make sure our dogs and cats are eating kibble made from the real deal - genuine meat, proper fish, and top-notch veggies and fruits. From humble startup origins 7 years ago, the brand was ready to shake things up across Europe, needing their first global campaign to launch in markets including the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. So to truly disrupt the pet food category, we recruited a pack of fake pets showing the effects of feeding our furry friends with bogus food.

'HANDMADE PET PUPPETS WITH LOVE'

Our pack of fake pets were the stars of the show, and to get them looking just right while showing the tough times they were going through, we teamed up with @eva_arends, a skilled prop and puppet maker from Amsterdam.

'AD SONG GOES VIRAL'

To create a mind-blowing contrast with our fake pets, we decided to go for an 80s love song balade, not only for its catchy melody but also to bring to life the love you feel for your furry friends. We teamed up with Satellite in Brazil, and together we crafted some lyrics that ended up becoming viral. So much so, that people on YouTube demanded its name and artist.
