Nate Berkus + Jeremiah Brent
National Campaign Launch
Role: Art Director
We had exactly one rule: inject Nate + Jeremiah’s signature interior design aesthetic into PetSmart’s highest-volume categories: dog and cat.
We completely threw out the predictable, stiff pet studio setups. Instead, we executed a total environmental refresh, trading corporate backdrops for warm, lived-in, "destination home" vibes. By reframing everyday pet essentials as high-end home decor, we gave the target audience a massive wow factor and proved that pet gear can actually complement your living space.
The result? We successfully elevated the brand's entire market positioning, reaching a multichannel digital audience of over 3.5 million. It created a major cultural crossover that pushed pet retail straight out of its lane and into elite design, home, and lifestyle publications like Architectural Digest. (AD Video)
