SUMMARY
In a cat litter market plagued by overpromises, we had to persuade skeptical pet parents that Fresh Step's new product innovation, Clean Paws, was the first low-tracking litter solution that actually worked. To earn their trust, we found a unique creative vehicle to bring to life our product benefit, expressed through a 360-degree campaign that created emotional appeal as well as rational believability. With this idea, Fresh Step Clean Paws became the #1 new product in the litter category based on sales in 2018.
