The Challenge

In a market that is crowded with large, well known dog food brands, we wanted to communicate the health benefits and use of ‘fresh meat’ used in Cooper & Co. Through extensive research in the UK market, we understood that consumers were looking for a trusted, authentic and tasty food that their dogs would love. It was also important to them that they were feeding their loved ones wholesome foods with the finest quality ingredients.

The Solution

Our story focussed on the freshly prepared recipes, simple wholesome ingredients alongside the benefits of feeding wheat and gluten free. We explored food photography but felt the brand would benefit from the use of illustration, using ‘Cooper’ (the working Spaniel) added great value, gave trust and stood out on-shelf.

The Process

Communicating the difference between the products in the range was key, it was important that we made it easy for consumers to quickly identify the product they required when entering their pet shop. We broke the category down into ‘dog types’ – Active, Sensitive, Fussy, Puppy, Glossy and Vitality with each of the products assigned a colour to to allow consumers to immediately recognise ’the green bag or the orange bag’ on shelf.

Coopers share of the grain free dog food market has been incredible, targeting the independent pet trade retailers, Cooper & Co. can be seen hogging shelf space in over 2000+ retailers throughout the UK.

To support the launch we worked with Cooper & Co. on a suite of marketing materials. We attended open days allowing retailers to invite their customers and we developed a suite of consumer and staff training literature also. In-store we created high quality point of sale and promotional materials that were supplied to the retailers free of charge.

The processes they demonstrated throughout the project was incredible, we will continue to keep the brand guardianship with the bubble team and work with them on all future NPD works.
