SUMMARY
Big Heart Pet Brands understood that pet parents see their pets as part of the family and wanted to make sure our portfolio of treats was a part of that relationship, too. We investigated family treating occasions and discovered a massive disconnect at cultural holidays. Families were treating themselves, and including pets in the celebration via gifts and toys but not giving them special treats. This $350MM opportunity led to an insight about pet gift-giving behavior that inspired us to champion the cause of pets receiving the gifts they really want at the holidays treats.
