I am a graphic design student and I remember seeing this in a book of creative advertising. They have the scent of the dog food coming through an opaque screen on the poster. So advertising win

while it is marketting win, the fact that the dog is not actually finding food where it could small the scent, makes it still fail on the dog’s part

Poor thing. It must not eat in such a third world, or should I say developing country. Its eat or be eaten and he’s made his choice even if it FAILED.

STFU C.G.! U NOOB

By: C.G.

C.G. — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:02:17 +0000

Not fail. Just ignorance from whoever considered this as a “Fail”. Let me explain why.

This was one inventive marketing strategy set up for a dog food brand. Instead of doing another happy doggy TV commercial like all others, they made a special poster for the dog, not just the dog owner.

These posters are placed around at the same height as the dog, and have a special characteristic: they received a scent treatment. Humans don’t detect it, but dogs can smell something delicious coming from the poster, and have the need to come closer and sniff it. It attracts the dog’s nose, and the owner’s curiosity.

It’s a curious marketing strategy, it was explained in a book about Guerrilla Marketing, if I’m not mistaken.

Also, the dog is not failing either. There is a scent coming from the poster, attracting the dog. It’s their instinct to investigate it.

TL;DR: It’s a marketing strategy for a dog food brand, using posters with scents that attract dogs. Not Fail.

it’s not “Hear with your nose” but more like “Follow your Nose”, “Listen to your nose” or “Take the advise of your nose”.
But the idear ist not to hear _with_ your nose but let the nose decide what to eat

The dog is failing, not the poster. But: very cool, thanks for the translation!

By: Qafqa

The poster reads “hear with your nose” I’m sure it’s a scratch ‘n’ sniff attention-getter aimed at dogs, so this is a categorical non-fail.
