Consumer will also be provided with the opportunity to participate in a Felix-inspired challenge on social media and partake in an augmented reality (AR) game later this year.
Nestlé Purina Felix Senior Brand Manager Rebecca Marshall commented on the Purina Felix 'It’s Great To Be A Cat' campaign launch saying, "The launch of Felix - It’s Great To Be A Cat is an exciting move for Felix as we continue building on the brand’s lovably mischievous personality and exploring new ways to connect with cat owners. With so much going on in the world today, it’s important to enjoy moments of light-heartedness – starting with the little things cats do that make us smile. Felix - It’s Great To Be A Cat is a fun, playful campaign that is backed by big media investment, and I’m delighted we can finally share the tune I’ve been singing in my head for months!"
