The 5 freakiest animal ad campaigns in the U.K.
Phil Collins and a massive gorilla. Cats that can read and split atoms. What are these creatures—and others—doing in commercials for popular products in Great Britain?
I had a nightmare last night about Thumb Cats.
For those of you unaware of Thumb Cats, they’re cats with thumbs.
Thumb Cats—an invention of milk producer Cravendale’s genius ad team—are the latest furry friends to see huge viral success.
But they freak me out.

2. Compare the market’s ‘Compare the Meercat’ campaign
