The Approach

Our PR experts partnered with our friends at the University of Leeds to carry out experiments and in-depth research into the effects of the Quokka on human physiology and psychology. The results found that simply watching cute animals for 30 minutes was enough to lower blood pressure, heart rates and anxiety levels by as much as 50%.
