Comprehensive Branding, Marketing, Project Management and Graphic Design Help Get Canine Athlete Initiative Off and Running
RALEIGH, N.C. – Innovative creative services agency The Marketing Machine (theMmachine.com) continues to lend its comprehensive branding and marketing expertise to the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF), helping the organization move forward in promoting its new Canine Athlete Fund initiative.
The Marketing Machine helped CHF launch the initiative this summer to raise money for researchers focusing on developing proper conditioning, nutrition, training and rehabilitation specific to the growing number of canine athletes.
“There were many components needed for this campaign, including designing icons, a landing page, email communications, banner ads and direct mailers,” The Marketing Machine President Paul Spinak said.
In addition to developing the branding and marketing efforts for the kickoff campaign this summer, The Marketing Machine also produces a quarterly newsletter for CHF, and provides help with their holiday outreach and many other creative projects throughout the year.
“This is a perfect example of an organization with in-house capabilities that would have been stretched too thin to launch and manage a major campaign and maintain all current in-house activities,” Spinak explained, adding, “In addition to project development and execution, CHF was looking for a unique outside approach to help their message resonate and raise money to help dogs live longer, healthier lives.”
Working as part of their client’s extended team, The Marketing Machine helped pull together the elements of CHF’s Canine Athlete Fund marketing program to create a brand that resonates with dog lovers and members, and also drives fundraising. Reflecting both “playful” canine athletes and “serious” research and health needs was a major focus, as was ensuring continuity across the campaign so that initiatives could move forward and CHF could achieve their goals.
“We were thrilled with the individualized attention we received from The Marketing Machine during the strategy, creative and production stages of the campaign,” said Erica Kitchen, Director of Development and Communications for the AKC Canine Health Foundation.
“We enjoy working with them and are always excited to see the ideas they generate. They meet our deadlines and are respectful of our budget,” she added.
