NEW YORK — Rodent control meets Grand Guignol in the new "Dead Mouse Theatre" campaign on behalf of Scotts Miracle-Gro Co.’s Tomcat brand.
Tomcat is a recent acquisition for Scotts Miracle-Gro (bought from Bell Labs in October 2013), and Barton F. Graf is a new agency for the brand.
Each spot in the campaign answers the question, "What will we do with all these dead mice?" The answer: Stuff them and put them on stage.
