Make Your Pet a NYC Star!
Have you ever dreamed about being on one of Time Square’s iconic billboards? Well, now is your chance. At least for your dog.
Your dog will be featured in a new Bideawee 15 second moving ad that will run in Times Square for four weeks later this year. (Date based on availability.) The ad will be overseen by Leane Brenes, an advertising industry veteran and creative collaborator with brands such as Revlon, Tommy Hilfiger, Starwood Hotels and Ralph Lauren, among others. Mattie Newlin, a recent graduate of the Savannah School of Art & Design and videographer for The National Arts Club, will shoot the ad, while David Johnston, co-founder of Other NYC, an award-winning editorial boutique, will handle post production and editing of the ad.
You will be able to participate throughout the entire creative process, providing you and your dog a truly, once-in-a-lifetime NYC experience.
