EXPANDING LEADERSHIP WITH A NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

—THE CHALLENGE

In just 7 years since Smoofl started as a dog ice cream brand, they rocked the shelves and became the leader in their category. Now, with their obtained status, they aimed not just to hold but to expand their strong position. Therefore, they shifted their focus to a pet inclusive lifestyle brand and wanted to reinforce their mission by introducing a new range of snacks: the Smoofl Pops, a savory snack for every dog.

—THE RESULT IN POSITIVE CHANGE

Transforming a brand with a solid message and a clear product portfolio, widely recognized by its target audience, into a pet-inclusive lifestyle brand, required some strategic thinking. We teamed up with the Smoofl crew for an insightful workshop to define a updated positioning, set up a fresh strategy and unveil a world of opportunities and possibilities for the brand.

BRANDING ARCHITECTURE

Smoofl was on a mission to broaden its horizon, aiming to introduce various product ranges, starting with the Dog Pops, a healthy snack made with puffed broken rice. Developing a fixed brand architecture became crucial. We had to devise a design that was not only consistent and easily recognizable but also adaptable enough to highlight the unique features of each product, while ensuring flavor differentiation within each range. We came up with a central packaging device that could be personalized based on the distinct personality of each product, adding a touch of character to the line-up.


PACKAGING DESIGN

Embracing Smoofl’s vision of treating every dog like a cherished member of the family, our goal was to design a packaging that met human-grade snack expectations. The result? An inclusive design that bursts with vibrancy, where the dog pops float around and ingredients pop out from behind the central device, unleashing the expressive personality of the snack world. Next came colour. Each pack needed to celebrate the pure joy of indulging in these dog pop snacks, making them stand out in the shelves. Tying it all together in a crystal-clear central message, sealed with the ultimate confirmation of a delighted dog, joyfully looking up while embracing his crunchy pop.

THE FUTURE

Smoofl would not be Smoofl if they were not already one paw ahead. Fresh off the launch of these mouthwatering dog pops, they are cooking up some exciting new products to expand their product portfolio. So, stay tuned for more tail-wagging goodness!
