Catvertising – Use It

Catvertising became a recognised technique in 1999 and it saw a spike in popularity in 2011 when a Canadian advertising agency used cat videos as an effective business tool and they were onto something. Advertising agencies need to be creative and this move by them to create the world’s first ever catvertising agency was stroke of genius.
