The challenge

Where it started

Two founders, a production plant and a recipe. No advertising budget, a category without its own regulatory box, and competitors years ahead.

The turn

Insight

The people who wrote in were already sold on natural feeding.

Their questions were practical: how much, how to switch, whether raw is safe, whether it fits in the freezer. The heavy conversation happened once. After the first order, customers came back on their own.

A brand that answers before it's asked

A colour code by recipe and species, one sticker per 1 kg bag with everything a buyer needs at the freezer door, and a voice with strict rules: affirmative, plain, never shaming anyone's current food.

02

The sale lives in WhatsApp

Pre-filled message buttons everywhere, two questions before offering anything (does the animal eat raw already, how many grams a day), and a post-purchase message for delivery and the first days.

  • A pre-filled message behind every button
  • Two questions before any offer
  • A message for the first days

03A store and a content system, not posts

Teach first. Sell last.

Recipe pages with real ingredients and percentages, a ration calculator, and a map of 39 ad pieces for 5 buyer personas where the creative itself does the targeting.

  • Hand-cut black ink, one character
  • Sky blue, yellow and deep purple
  • Hand-lettered headline, serif body

A question and a dog who doesn't know the answer.
