Creative Concept & Execution

Creating Tangible Pet-Parent Memories

Promoting pet services requires more than communicating operating hours and prices—it requires emotional connection. For PetSmart’s themed playdate series, Amanda designed end-to-end event collateral that celebrated the bond between dogs and their families.

Beyond eye-catching desk signage and promotional takeaway flyers, the campaign introduced physical pawprint keepsake certificates and branded digital photo overlays. When pet parents picked up their dogs, they received a personalized memento that sparked organic word-of-mouth recommendations and recurring camp visits.

Outcome & Impact

Turned routine daycare sessions into high-demand community events, generating strong weekend attendance spikes and creating cherished take-home keepsakes that drove pet-parent social sharing.
