PetSafe Canada rewards storytellers in new campaign

#PetHappy campaign includes public relations and social media

PetSafe Canada is asking pet owners to share their stories on Facebook about how their pets make them happy.

It’s all part of the #PetHappy campaign, in which one happy pet-owning storyteller will win $2,500 worth of PetSafe products and have their story and pet’s photo shared on PetSafe Canada’s Facebook page.

“It’s a fun, happy campaign,” says Annabel Lee, account executive at Maverick in Toronto, which handles public relations for PetSafe Canada.

Launched in conjunction with National Pet Week (May 3 – 9), the campaign runs until the end of May. It aims to build awareness of the brand’s lifestyle and well-being products.

The campaign is pegged to surveys and studies that have found almost all Canadians feel their pets improve their general well-being and physical and mental health, increase self-esteem and reduce stress.

In addition to public relations and social media, the campaign also includes a blogger outreach program.

Maverick is working with PetSafe’s PR agency in the U.K., HatTrick, which oversees public relations for PetSafe, which has its corporate headquarters in the U.S.
