Produce a fun and crazy :15 social ad for Bravecto Plus for Cats - The latest groundbreaking feline innovation offering broad-spectrum, extended duration flea/tick/heartworm and intestinal parasite protection.

Our goal is to drive awareness of Bravecto Plus for Cats.  Bravecto Plus beats out the other guys by being the first and only feline topical to deliver 2 months of flea and tick protection, heartworm prevention and treatment of intestinal parasites!  For cat owners, this means twice the convenience of monthly products and half the stress!

Please base your pitch on one of the three concepts in the Background/Additional Details section. 

DELIVERABLES:

• One :15 Bravecto Plus video in 16x9 (based on one of the three concepts listed in the Background/Additional Details section)

TIMELINE:  For the full project timeline please see the Assets tab. 

EXPOSURE:

• Social Media

TARGET AUDIENCE:

• Indoor feline pet owners

TONE:

EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES: 

• You should pitch on one concept per submission. You can submit up to five different submissions. 
• Can be for animation or live-action. Bravecto is open to any animation style. 

Let's be honest, scooping up your cat and applying a topical medication is very stressful! You’re not happy. Your cat is not happy. No one wins. But with Bravecto Plus, you get protection from fleas, ticks, heartworm, and other parasites for twice as long as the other guys. Imagine a whole two months without having to wrestle your cat to apply its ointment. Sounds nice, right? Even if your cat typically remains indoors, pests can still find their way to your feline through open doors or other pets. So why not use a product that protects from ticks, fleas, heartworms, roundworms, and hookworm for an entire 2 months?

Please base your Pitch on one of the following concepts:

• "Catcho Libre" - In a full luchador ensemble,  a woman and her cat square off in a wrestling ring. DING! DING! The bell sounds, and pet and owner collide in combat. Right about that time, we hear how Bravecto's longer duration takes away the stress of medicating your cat. 
• "Cat Scratch" - A disheveled shopper plastered covered with bandages and scratches opens a Bravecto package and cries from relief. We push in to learn about Bravecto's 2-month duration and benefits.
• "Curious Cats" - Cats do the craziest thing. Over a funny montage with cats doing their signature random, pointless, & adorable things! We show that they might not make good choices, but you should! Use Bravecto!
