The most sleep-inducing journey ever

We’ve all likely experienced shifts in our sleep patterns this last year due to abnormalities/anxieties of the pandemic, but sleep patterns may have been impacted by something else quite surprising: our cats. Cats are crepuscular creatures and notoriously more active (and hungry!) during early morning hours. While many cat parents are happy to cope with that 4 a.m. feed, this ad targets them in the early morning hours when they may be reaching for their phones most, helping them to get back to sleep after giving in. Developed by AMV BBDO, the hero film – which is an evolution of the brand’s “4 a.m.” program – has been produced with the latest research in sleep science at its heart. The agency wanted to find a way to create engaging and entertaining content, but also something that would (literally) put people to sleep. Finding a fine balance, and using a combination of the best sleep techniques– including body scans, ASMR voices, calm visual effects, meditation and soothing colors – this ad has turned mobile devices into sleep-inducing aids, all aimed at getting pet parents back to dreamland more easily.
