Super C has been an ally to the Mira Foundation for more than 20 years now, raising money for the organization through its 98 stores across Québec. To bolster these fundraising efforts, Cossette created an ad campaign with a component targeting an audience particularly sensitive to Mira’s cause: dogs.

As part of an urban poster tactic produced in collaboration with Publicité Sauvage and Touché!, Cossette designed multisensory signage aimed at our canine companions. Because dogs have a keen sense of smell, an aromatic blend of ingredients derived from grocery items was applied to the various posters to attract them—and grab their human’s attention.

The objective was to get consumers to go to a Super C store and make a donation to Mira. To spur people into action at the cash, Mira “unleashed” a new troupe of five puppies that, aside from starring in the campaign, will benefit directly from the funds raised. This year, Super C customers can choose to donate to Muffin, Ramen, Creton, Sésame or Roquette.

The Super C campaign is precious to Mira, because it rallies both grocers and customers, who have shown tremendous generosity year after year. The cause is important to them, and they understand that the money raised has a direct impact on our ability to provide dogs to people in need. Again this year, Cossette and Super C outdid themselves by creating an original campaign that’s in keeping with our mission to change lives, one dog at a time.

Through the use of olfactory marketing on dogs, we were successful in deploying a creative approach that is not only unique, but also perfectly fits the brand identity of Super C and the Mira Foundation. We are very proud to once again be involved in promoting this remarkable fundraiser.

In addition to the deployment of these cute canines, the ad offensive also includes digital out-of-home and in-store signage, radio and online spots, as well as organic content on social media and across all of Super C’s platforms.
