BarkBox Will Write a Song Based on a Photo of Your Dog for National Dog Day
Grace Mahas — August 27, 2019 — Lifestyle
In honor of National Dog Day, BarkBox, a monthly subscription service providing dog products and services, has launched the #PraiseDog campaign that "helps dog lovers express gratitude toward the good boys and girls in their lives."
The campaign is offering to write a personalized ode about any dog for owners who post a tweet tagging @BarkBox with a picture of their dog, their name, and what makes the pup unique. The #PraiseDog campaign also includes a special $5 price for first-time subscribers to the service. The marketing tactic will roll out across YouTube, Hulu, Spotify, and other social media platforms.
The novelty campaign by BarkBox shows the value brands place on social media "holidays" and the niche opportunity it provides companies with to try creative marketing approaches.
