Over two thirds of US households have one or more pets and millennials and gen-z account for the largest proportion of these pet owners. Many consumers within this population are young, working professionals. As a pet parent, ensuring your dog is getting enough exercise is critical to keeping your dog happy, healthy, and out of trouble. For young professionals, this can be challenging and time-consuming, especially for those who have high-energy dog breeds.

This commercial helped the viewer understand what that experience would be like and creatively connects it to Kate Spade. Now, consumers will associate the city lifestyle with Kate Spade. This appeals to psychographics. Godin discusses that marketers should step away from demographic information and, instead, focus on information such as motivators, dreams, and values (Behind the Brand, 2018). Successful brand narratives do this very well. I discussed the LEGO Group in my post, and I think they also build on dreams and values; they appeal to a customer's dream to build the impossible and use their creativity (LEGO Group, 2020).
