Meow the 32nd – Cat Adverts

Cats mean business. With Grumpy Cat allegedly being worth everything between 64m and 100 million dollars, it is not surprising that companies jump on the bandwagon and use cats in their advertising.

According to a Telegraph article (How to make millions from your cat), cats in advertising campaigns have boosted sales. Cats have brought an increase in sales and brand awareness to companies, such as Cravendale Milk, O2, Pizza Hut, and Skittles.
