SUMMARY
In 2008, Pup-Peroni faced 20 straight months of declining share with their primary competitor dominating the marketplace in both share of media and consumer perception. Research suggested the communications in this category missed the emotional relationship owners share with their dog and the role treating plays in that relationship. Pup-Peroni was repositioned to evoke a more emotionally relevant relationship connected to an ownable reason to buy. The campaign was designed to grow awareness and consumption and exceeded goals with a 7pt lift in awareness and 33% growth in consumption.
