Reel

Collaborational non-profit project for a Moscow-based dog shelter Super Dog of artists, Animation Designers, musicians, actors, video bloggers, singers and a screenwriter, organised by Petrick studio

  • Increased social media audience engagement  ·  Increased shelter visitors  ·   Increased website visitors  ·  Dogs found their new homes

Taking inspiration from 90-s aesthetics and offline dating services we decided to develop a project where nine different dogs would introduce themselves as amazing life partners and explain how badly they dream of a human to take them in.

In the course of the project we developed a concept and guidelines, wrote scripts, created Design and Animation of the dogs in different styles, as well as an intro, a jingle and a landing page — love.super-sobaka.ru

Female, 2 years, spayed, vaccinated. Tender, affectionate and sometimes a tiny bit anxious small dog who is always looking for someone.

Results

The main channel of the project was Instagram. All participants of the collaborative project, including influencers, shared the work in their profile, tagging the shelter’s page. This helped us increase the number of followers in Super Dog’s profile, who will now take part in the shelter’s everyday life.

We also developed a landing page with 90-s aesthetics where we focused on the topic of love — love.super-sobaka.ru

As a result, the project was mentioned across many Russian media. Super Dog’s profile gained more than 14k new followers. But the most important result is that some of the dogs already have found new homes.
