In a sea of serious HVAC ads, AG Creative Group went delightfully off-leash. For Gandy Installations—a third-generation, family-owned heating and cooling company—they created the “Dogs Gone Comfy” campaign, featuring pups living their coziest lives in hilariously human scenarios. From lounging in bathrobes to hogging the blankets, each visual delivered a dose of charm, warmth, and brand personality.
Led by creative director Stewart Jung, the print and digital campaign was designed to stand out in a crowded, often cookie-cutter market. Inspired by Gandy’s own mascot, Lennox the dog, the campaign put comfort front and center while reinforcing the company’s trusted reputation. The result? A memorable brand moment that not only brought smiles but also earned AG Creative a well-deserved Gold Award in the 2025 Graphis Advertising Annual.
More than just cute, this campaign proves how the right mix of humor, heart, and smart strategy can create advertising that sticks.

Gandy Installations, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) company in a super competitive market, came to us looking for a winter campaign that would really stand out. They’ve always enjoyed the sense of humor we’ve captured in their previous ads, and the expectation this time was no different. The idea we ran with—“Dogs Gone Comfy”—was inspired by their lovable dog, Lennox. Using dogs as the stars just felt natural, and it made for a super fun campaign. We featured dogs doing hilariously human things, paired with captions full of dog-like charm. This fun campaign is used in their print and digital advertising.
We’re thrilled at AG Creative Group to have picked up a Gold in the 2025 Graphis Advertising Annual! Even better—our entire Dog’s Gone Comfy campaign earned the award, which makes it extra special. And getting invited to do a case study for the Graphis blog? That’s just the icing on the cake.
