“The new brand identity is the result of consistent implementation of the strategic transformation from a product-focused supplier to an omnichannel provider and carer for people and animals,” says the retailer. The new logo thus replaces the previous Fressnapf image with a cat and dog at all relevant touchpoints, from the website to employees’ clothing.

Fressnapf CEO Dr Johannes Steegmann adds: “The new brand logo now conveys exactly the right mix of closeness, trust and ease that we want to create in the shopping experience as a figurehead at our stores.”

The campaign was created in collaboration with the lead agency Serviceplan and the production company Serviceplan Make. It was directed by Jan Stollberg, who had already overseen the previous Christmas campaign for Fressnapf. Fressnapf is using a multimedia mix of TV, radio, social media and the social news aggregator Reddit to distribute…
