At Havas Life Medicom, we are serious about making healthcare stories accessible. And we also love dogs. A lot. Allergies permitting, that’s how we roll at HLM.

Recently, dogs’ incredible sense of smell has been making headlines, so we wanted to make a film that not only unites artful storytelling and our fascination with healthcare innovation, but also celebrates our furry friends.

So we created a new short film, entitled “Wuff Day at the Office.” It highlights how man’s best friend is inspiring cutting-edge disease-detection technology, and showcases HLM’s multi-species workplace.

To make the film a reality, our team invited their canine companions to work for a day, and, along with Oscar-winning production company Slick Films, we transformed our Thames Ditton office into a dog-centric film set. It turns out that dogs may be able to sniff out cancer, but they’re rubbish at healthcare communications. Watch a behind-the-scenes edit of “Wuff Day.”
