OOH Best of the Week: “Man’s True Best Friend” by Toronto for
Hot on the heals of Sabrina Carpenter’s controversial cover for her new album “Man’s Best Friend”, this campaign offers a different take on the phrase and imagery. Carpenter’s artwork shows her on all fours, her hair held by an off-camera man, as though she is a submissive beast. Humane Canada’s posters show real dogs up for adoption, their leashes held by an identically-dressed off-camera man, against an identical curtained back drop. Are women and dogs analogous? What is the meaning of Carpenter’s album artwork? We’re not sure but it’s a deft move from the animal charity.
