How a Campaign With Claws Can Dominate Your Category Jungle
1. HOW A CAMPAIGN WITH CLAWS
CAN CHALLENGE THE KING OF YOUR
CATEGORY JUNGLE.
2. The Need
A Campaign To Drive Awareness
World’s Best Cat Litter™ is a premium brand that experienced increased
distribution, brand awareness and sales year after year. The brand was
looking to break through with a wider mass and grocery channel shopper,
but remained an underdog to category giants offering lower quality products.
The brand needed a disruptive but efficient campaign that validated its
price-point and placed it firmly in the collective conscious of a national
cat-owning audience.
3. Key Insights and Market Opportunity
• In a space dominated by cheaper alternatives, it would be critical to
meet demand for “total value” – the idea that consumers are willing
to spend more if the quality is there.
• In a category dominated by feature messaging, we would need to
message the emotional benefits of odor control, easy cleanup and
size—the most important pain-points identified by research.
• With a limited budget compared to the big competitors, the brand
would need a highly efficient media buy and a disruptive campaign.
4. The Solution
MicroArts crafted a solution that culminated
in the following strategic recommendations:
1. We created an “It’s Just Litter Until™…” message
that heightens the importance of litter in messaging
the drawbacks of not using a premium product like
World’s Best Cat Litter™.
2. We used our Proven Creative® Principle of
“sell on emotion” to introduce messaging positioning
the brand as the solution to the three biggest purchase
drivers for litter shoppers: long-lasting value, odor
control and easy cleanup.
Think about your cat. Not the box.
LESS MESS. LESS LITTER.
THAT’S CONCENTRATED POWER.

3. The campaign was centered on disruptive
creative that used carefully crafted imagery to
literally put cats on people’s mind. This imagery
was paired with messaging that explained that
only World’s Best Cat Litter™ allows people to
keep their cat on their mind versus the litter box.
6. Launched through print, digital and experiential mediums, the
“It’s Just Litter Until™…” campaign is raising expectations of cat
litter with an emotional brand push that is turning heads and growing
brand awareness for the nation’s top-selling natural litter brand.
