Campaign Vision

Extending a Channel 4 premiere into a movement cat-loving audiences wanted to be part of

The Cat Man campaign was a multi-platform social media initiative developed by Everypaw Pet Insurance to support and amplify the broadcast of the Channel 4 series “David Baddiel: Cat Man.” Presented by David Baddiel, the three-episode factual series explores the personalities, stories, and lives of cats across the UK. The digital campaign aimed to extend the reach of the show beyond television, building anticipation before the broadcast, encouraging viewers to tune in during the airing, and engaging cat-loving audiences online after the episodes aired, across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads and YouTube.

Build Anticipation

Drive awareness and excitement for the Channel 4 premiere.

Drive Viewership

Convert social engagement into tune-in during broadcast.

Extend Reach

Sustain audience engagement beyond the premiere through on-demand and social momentum.

My Role

Strategy, production, and execution

I led the Cat Man campaign across three core areas: developing the social strategy, coordinating production, and executing the rollout across platforms.

01

Campaign Strategy

Developed the social media strategy supporting the broadcast. Planned the campaign structure, including teaser content, countdown posts, behind-the-scenes videos, and post-episode engagement, and created the editorial calendar guiding the rollout across platforms.

02

Production Coordination

Coordinated the development of teaser concepts and a 15-second branded broadcast ident used during the show, overseeing the process from initial creative ideas through to final edit, ensuring content aligned with campaign strategy and brand messaging.

03

Social Media Execution

Managed the rollout of campaign content across social platforms. Planned and executed influencer collaborations to extend reach into cat-focused communities, monitoring engagement and adapting content to maintain momentum.

Campaign Strategy

Three phases, built to build, convert, and sustain

The strategy moved through three phases, designed to build anticipation, capture the moment of broadcast, and cement long-term audience loyalty.

December

The Hook

Cryptic teasers and relentless countdowns seeded mystery and drew audiences in ahead of the premiere.

January

The Catalyst

Anticipation converted into action through aggressive episode releases and strategic influencer partnerships that led the social conversation.

February

The Legacy

The campaign moved beyond the premiere, turning viewers into advocates through purpose-driven storytelling and sustained on-demand momentum.
