Save Da Hoomans makes clinical trial information available via a free, easy-to-read matchmaking platform. The campaign, which positions dogs as the saviors of hoomans (or humans), tapped partnerships with animal shelters, celebrities and social media influencers. Messages were placed on billboards, bus ads, social media and a website, netting more than 1 million organic impressions within a month of launch. The campaign attracted national media attention and drew hundreds to register with clinical research teams.
