Healthy Pet, a leader in the pet category, has selected French/West/Vaughan (FWV) as its agency of record. One of the nation’s largest independently-owned public relations, advertising and digital marketing agencies, FWV and FWV Fetching—FWV’s division dedicated to pet marketing – will manage external communications including media relations, special events, influencer programming, social media and digital marketing throughout 2020 as an extension of the multi-year partnership between the two organizations.
Based in Ferndale, Wash., and Jesup, Ga., Healthy Pet has been a leading provider of small animal bedding and litter products made from sustainably sourced, responsibly rescued natural plant fiber for more than 30 years. It is a J. Rettenmaier & Söhne (JRS) company.
“We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to grow our existing partnership with Healthy Pet,” said FWV’s President and Principal David Gwyn. “At FWV, we value all of our long-term client relationships, and are eager to continue to support Healthy Pet and its industry-leading, sustainably sourced products.”
FWV Fetching’s team of public relations and digital marketing experts, all of whom are dedicated to pet and animal health, will fully support Healthy Pet’s ökocat® rebrand and packaging relaunch, as well as its “carefresh Gives Back” philanthropic efforts.
“Our amplified partnership with FWV greatly enhances our ability to reach pet parents around the country,” said Healthy Pet’s Head of Consumer Marketing Jane Wasley. “We are already seeing results with this year’s ökocat® packaging refresh and our product expansions in Petco and PetSmart. We look forward to ramping up our efforts in the coming months.”
