Robbie Williams said: “The cat is out of the bag, I’m the new voice of Felix. I’ve been a long-time fan of cats, I’ve had many feline friends over the years and after studying their fascinating behaviour, I can confidently say, It’s Great to Be a Cat.”
Felix Senior Brand Manager Rebecca Marshall added: “It’s Great to Be a Cat is a true celebration of what Felix represents – fun, mischievous, entertaining and a true reflection of just how great cats are. This campaign will continue to elevate the brand to new and existing audiences, and we believe Robbie and his iconic voice are the ideal partnership for us.
“For the first time, we have used different approaches across multiple channels for the campaign, including a YouTube partnership and TikTok with creators in the UK as well as some upcoming experiential activations. We’re excited to see the results that are delivered.”
