Context | Challenge | Constraints

Context: Small up and coming business seeking to expand and wants to present a strong brand identity through a consistent marketing campaign to attract potential franchisees. Challenge: Paws and Pastures was a three person operation, all working from their homes, no existing brand (other than the name), no budget, no existing marketing collateral, just a rough idea of who they want to reach. Everything had to be built from scratch to make the business seem attractive to investors and was immediately published. Constraints: • Solo designer/ marketeer • Small business budget • No existing brand equity • Build and promote as we go!

My Role

I worked with the P&P team as a solo design resource dedicated to refining their brand messaging into visuals that they felt reflected their story and increased business. The business has incredibly strong testimonials that we used to hone the messaging. Repeated words like 'kindness', 'warmth' and 'adventure' acted as a roadmap for how to build the outreach and promotions online. I designed a full marketing campaign suite with multiple paid ads (video and static), including a new branding identity and system that utilised reusable assets, built to be rolled out across all digital mediums, even after my contract completion.

Process

I always start on paper before I touch a screen. For this one I filled a page with everything the business felt like, kind, scruffy, outdoorsy, and just let the pen wander until a shape started repeating itself. That's where the wordmark's uneven baseline came from. I kept drawing it slightly off-kilter until it actually looked like it was mid-stride, which took longer than I'd like to admit but was worth every version. From the sketch I moved into digital exploration properly, testing loose sticker style marks and taglines to see what tone actually stuck. Some of it, the bark of "Relax!", the scrappy "WALKIES?" lettering, never made it past that stage, but it earned its keep by ruling things out fast. Once the badge mark clicked, everything else fell into place quickly. I locked the palette and typography, pinned down every value so nothing downstream was left to chance, then started applying it across formats to see where it held and where it needed adjusting. By the time I got to the full campaign set, I wasn't designing six separate pieces. I was just moving the same system around different shaped rooms.

Decisions

I started with the name itself. Mapping out the words that come with Paws and Pastures, kind, soft, outdoorsy, gave me a starting point for the mark rather than reaching straight for a typeface. The uneven baseline in the wordmark grew out of thinking about the rhythm of an actual dog walk, so the letters wander slightly rather than sitting on a perfect line. It's a small detail but it's the one thing in the whole identity that couldn't have come from a template. The badge became the anchor for everything that followed. Once it existed as a standalone mark, I treated it as a stamp that could travel, on a shirt, in a corner of an ad, on a QR code panel, always at a consistent size and weight so it reads as one recurring signature rather than a repeated logo. Colour and type decisions were locked early and documented properly, primary and secondary palettes with full values, so nothing downstream was left to guesswork. That discipline mattered more once the campaign expanded into six different formats. Each piece was rebuilt for its own space rather than resized from another, but every one of them pulls from the same handful of early decisions, which is what makes the campaign read as a single voice rather than six separate jobs.

Outcome | Reflection

Outcome: Since the marketing campaign Paws and Pastures books are now full 3 months in advance. They have taken on 2 new investors and have begun to widen their operational territory. All branding has remain intact and in use. Reflection: Looking back, I would've preferred to have been able to have gotten more live footage from actual dog walks, but with time constrains I was forced to animate (real) photos with Ai. Not my personal preference, as I believe in the power and authenticity of an unaltered photo, but timing and deadlines dictated otherwise and so images of the Managing director's dog came into play.
