Camp Bow Wow

Camp Bow Wow

Overview

Camp Bow Wow is a leading Doggy Day and Overnight Camp providing the highest levels of fun, safety and service for dogs and peace of mind for their owners. The franchise encompasses over 100 Camps and 75 Home Buddies territories nationwide, including one in Canada. The company came to 5W with two main objectives: the first being its 'Bad to the Bone Campaign,' in which the brand wanted 5W to create and execute a meaningful campaign designed to not only promote Camp Bow Wow's philosophy of the importance of proper pet training, but also heighten overall brand awareness. The second objective was a campaign to engage not only consumers, but also individual franchise owners across the country. This would prove more of a challenge, considering the increase in competition within the pet care/day care/training space, as well as the cost barrier to open a franchise.
