Summary of the Campaign
To make everybody talk about Leo Burnett Lisbon, we decided to put the spotlight on our dog, Tura. So we promoted her to Creative Advisor. Tura was included in the credits on all our work. After she won several awards, we created a website to show her awarded work, a twitter account with her point of view, a linkedin account, tshirts and a usb card with the agency credentials among other tools to generate content for our B2B campaign.

The Goal
The goal was to showcase Leo Burnett Lisboa´s work, and put the agency in everybody´s mouth.

Results
In less than a year Tura became the most awarded dog in advertising. She even entered the Cannes palais, and went up to the stage to pick up their awards. Because of all that glory, we created a website to show her awarded work, a twitter account with her point of view, a linkedin account, tshirts and usb card with the agency credentials. All this with one goal: to generate content for our B2B campaign
