Big Lots Pits Babies Against Dogs in Equally Cute Battle

By Kiran Aditham 


Talk about cuteness overload. Big Lots pretty much makes our Friday with a series of spots involving a match-up between puppies and babies. This campaign from Chicago-based OKRP, which signed Big Lots in January 2014, did warm our hearts a bit at the end of an odd week.

Agency co-founder Tom O’Keefe told AdFreak:

“We have less than three seconds to get customers’ attention on social platforms and thought we’d play to the most popular Internet content.”

Nothing seems to activate social sharing and comments like funny and cute–so who do you favor, #TeamDoggies or #TeamBabies?

Can we say both?
