How we reached over one billion people in 10 months

In January 2025, the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF) partnered with Nobull, the UK’s leading pet-sector marketing agency, to tackle one of the most urgent but overlooked welfare issues in the animal world: the mistreatment and misunderstanding of domestic rabbits. By the end of October 2025, our strategic PR campaigns had reached over one billion people through broadcast and national press.

Our mission: change public perception, educate families, and put pressure on policymakers.

Campaign One: “Easter Bunny in Crisis”

Objective

Stop the seasonal surge in impulse rabbit purchases over Easter and spotlight the hidden suffering behind the ‘cute Easter bunny’ myth.

Our strategy

With Easter approaching, we launched a national broadcast-led awareness campaign built around emotionally resonant storytelling and real-world rescue insights. We created a powerful narrative driven by RWAF’s frontline teams and their lived experiences.

Results

TV reach: 6,000,000

Radio reach: 33,311,000

Total audience: 39,311,000

 

Campaign Two: “Cuddles Turn Cruel”

Objective

Stop harmful rabbit petting sessions at UK farm parks and challenge the assumption that handling prey animals is ‘harmless fun.’

Our strategy

Ahead of October half term, Nobull and RWAF contacted 573 UK farm parks, urging them to end rabbit-petting practices. Only one venue- Bucklebury Farm in Berkshire (owned by Pippa Middleton and James Matthews) - responded positively.

We guided the farm through a full welfare-first transformation, filmed the entire process, and built a compelling PR narrative around leadership, responsibility, and progressive change within the sector.

The Results

The campaign generated:

·        Combined reach: Over 1 billion

·        National broadcast coverage

·        Major national and international online and print media pickup

·        Public support and amplification

·        Endorsement from the RSPCA, adding significant authority and momentum
