The Comprehensive Partnership
Consultation
Puplandia is a mission-driven dog rescue. While her mission was clear, she lacked the professional brand and marketing tools needed to build a sustainable organization. I partnered with Brook to build Puplandia from the ground up, creating the foundational non-profit brand identity and digital assets that have allowed her rescue to thrive for years.
Challenge: Building a Brand with Purpose
Brook Benson had a powerful vision: to rescue and rehome dogs in need. She had the passion and the name "Puplandia," but she needed a professional identity and the tools to make her mission a reality. The challenge was to create a cohesive brand that could effectively attract volunteers, raise donations, and build trust within the community. The name "Puplandia" alone didn't communicate the serious nature of her work, so the brand identity needed to clearly convey her mission and commitment to animal welfare.
Solution: A Foundation for Growth
I partnered with Brook to build a complete brand and marketing foundation that would empower her to execute her vision.
Brand Identity and Logo: The first step was to create a logo and brand identity that immediately communicated the rescue's mission. The new logo was designed to be professional and trustworthy, establishing a clear visual identity that could stand out in the crowded non-profit space.
Marketing Asset Suite: With the new brand in place, I developed a full suite of marketing assets to help Puplandia connect with its audience. This included professional business cards, social media graphics for consistent posting, and essential print materials like flyers and banners for events, fundraisers, and volunteer drives.
Web Design and Direction: I provided the web design and creative direction for the new Puplandia website. I collaborated closely with a developer to ensure the site's design not only reflected the new brand but was also user-friendly for volunteers and donors.
Result: A Lasting Legacy of Success
While my direct involvement with the project ended in 2020, the professional foundation we built allowed Puplandia to achieve remarkable long-term success. The strategic branding and marketing assets I created empowered Brook to build a reputable organization that has since:
- Grown its Facebook following to over 26,000.
- Rescued hundreds of dogs and found them loving forever homes.
- Raised thousands of dollars to sustain its life-saving mission.
The professional brand and marketing tools provided the credibility needed to attract volunteers, donations, and partnerships that have enabled Puplandia to grow and save countless lives for years to come.
