As a century-old brand, Hartz was beginning to act their age.
The brand needed a refresh that made them relatable, reliable and memorable among younger pet parents.

unconditional 🧡 is a creative platform that’s rooted in the truest emotion those with fur babies feel. It celebrates the realities of sharing a life with pets, from the challenges to the rewards. Life is made richer by being each other’s companion, and Hartz provides the goods that enable that companionship to thrive with unconditional love.

#UnconditionalLove Confessions

About a year after launching the TV and OLV spots for Hartz “unconditional 🧡” with their accompanying assets for social and digital, we were tasked with expanding on our message for a
full-blown social activation.

To showcase just how real unconditional 🧡 is, we found real pet parents (who just so happened to be actors) bring their babies on set and share all of the wild ways they show their pet unconditional love each and every day.

Real Pet Parents. Real Stories.
