Overview

Committed to feeding and nurturing the most important relationships in our lives

PEDIGREE had an established social presence, but it wasn’t up-to-date with current social best practices. We revitalized their social media presence, bringing their brand personality to life across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook with a focus on engaging vertical video since it’s the most engaging content type.

Opportunity

Modernize PEDIGREE's social strategy through viral vertical video, micro-creator partnerships, and AI-powered trend activation.

Solution

New tricks for a legacy brand

To bring PEDIGREE’s brand into the modern social era, we built a robust social playbook rooted in platform-native content and storytelling. With a strategic focus on vertical video, we refreshed their presence on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, layering in tailored content pillars, reactive content protocols, and influencer partnerships. This ensured a consistent, engaging, and mission-aligned voice across channels while boosting visibility and authenticity.

Execution

Sniffing out social gold

We brought the PEDIGREE story to life by pairing in-house creative with authentic creator-led content. By building a roster of dog-loving micro-creators, we tapped into cultural moments, trends, and platform-native formats that made PEDIGREE feel more human (and dog-obsessed) than ever. We ensured agility by establishing a rapid response system to jump on trends, all while filtering opportunities through brand-aligned criteria. From playful memes to adoption-focused storytelling, every post had a purpose.
