Pinstripe Marketing Launches Pro Bono Advertising Campaign for SPOT

St. Petersburg, FL, February 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Pinstripe Marketing will unveil a new advertising campaign for SPOT’s (Stop Pet Overpopulation Together) grand opening of its first spay/neuter clinic tomorrow in Pinellas Park. Last September, the Pinstripe team selected SPOT as their 2008-09 pro-bono client. “We believe it is the responsibility of our profession to lend our time and talent and help these organizations to make a better community”, said Ginger Reichl, president of Pinstripe Marketing. “We really had fun and appreciated working with SPOT.”

SPOT is a non-profit organization that provides low cost spay/neuter services and education on pet overpopulation to the Tampa Bay community. Last year, they distributed 6,000 vouchers for discounted spay/neuter procedures with a 66% redemption rate in Pinellas County. SPOT chose February to open their first clinic in celebration of National Spay/Neuter month. Pamela Borres, the founder of Stop Pet Overpopulation Together, was thrilled to be working with a professional marketing agency. “We wanted to make the decision to spay or neuter a pet the fashionable solution to pet overpopulation,” explained Borres. “The board and I are very pleased with the resulting campaign!”

With so many pet organizations in Tampa Bay, Pinstripe’s creative team decided to do something extreme to grab the public’s attention. The campaign relies heavily on bold imagery provided by Danette Morse, a freelance pet photographer and SPOT board member. The sets range from a dingy St. Petersburg alley to a stripper pole at a local gentlemen’s club.

The new clinic is located at:

4403 62nd Avenue
Pinellas Park, FL 33781
(727) 545-3463
