Why Animals Make Excellent Spokespersons

What would you think if someone random walked into your building and gave you a pet frog? Well that’s just what agency Red Pepper did to help change the perception for one of their clients.

Vatel, a French restaurant in Russia, was having the hardest time trying to get customers. This was because people in Russia often associated French cuisine with food that was expensive, served in small portions and lacked variety. In order to change the perception of French cuisine, Vatel ran a direct marketing campaign where they went to small businesses around the city and gave them a small frog. The frog was meant to symbolize the French stereotype of the cuisine.

Watch the video to see the amazing results of the campaign!
