Creator of K9 Advantix Commercials
The ad agency Energy BBDO sponsors these commercials. The original and most famous K9 Advantix commercial is "Hello Mother, Hello Father", which aired in 2003. Since then, it has remained one of the most famous and memorable dog commercials. By creating a commercial with singing puppies, not only does it directly relate to the product they are selling, but makes it more attractive to the people who view the commercial, as well as having a catchy tune so that they will remember it later. The original song from which the tune was taken was written by Allan Sherman called Camp Grenada. Here is a comparison between the original lyrics and the K9 Advantix version. Lyrics: Original Version (partial): Hello muddah, hello faddah Here I am at Camp Grenada Camp is very entertaining And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining I went hiking with Joey Spivy He developed poison ivy You remember Leonard Skinner He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner Take me home, oh muddah, faddah Take me home, I hate Grandma Here I am at Camp Grenada Camp is very entertaining And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining. [2] K9 Advantix Version: Hello Mother, Hello Father Fleas, ticks, Mosquitos, really bother Thanks for the package That's why I'm writing K9 Advantix really stopped all the biting Swimming, hiking, and tent pitching They 're not biting, I'm not itching Can't wait to show you All my new tricks Thanks again for sending me K9 Advantix How K9 Advantix Works"K9 Advantix is a waterproof, once-a-month topical treatment that repels and kills fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, biting flies, and lice. Advantix kills fleas in all life stages to prevent their development, and keeps your dog safe from diseases that are commonly transmitted by parasites, including Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.
The product is absorbed into the skin and becomes part of the sebaceous system, which produces natural body oils. Your dog’s body oils distribute the product evenly over their entire body." [1] |
