In the world of PR, grabbing your audience’s attention is essential. One of the most effective ways to do that is through photos and videos of animals, particularly cats and dogs.
At Briscoe PR, we’ve seen firsthand how animal content boosts engagement on social media and grabs the attention of journalists and readers alike.
Let’s break down why incorporating photos of animals into your PR strategy could be the secret hack to boosting your brand’s visibility and engagement.
Take a recent reel we created for one of our farm shop clients featuring a sheepdog in action. The video achieved an impressive 26,660 views and 1,000 likes. The combination of an adorable dog and the farm’s authentic content was a major hit. It’s proof that when you mix cute animals with storytelling, the results speak for themselves.
We also have our very own PR pup, Mabel, who’s a secret weapon for bringing some lighthearted fun. Her playful antics bring personality to our brand and always spark engagement from our audience.
The science is simple: people love animals! Animal content, especially cute dogs and cats, is more likely to be shared, liked, and commented on than traditional promotional posts.
In short, animals in PR can be a great engagement hack – if it fits with your business and audience. As with any PR strategy, it’s important to assess if it aligns with your brand and enhances your messaging.
