Big Dog’s Big Story
“I know you, you’ve got a big dog!”
Big Dog isn’t just another quirky agency name, it’s a story crafted with almost 20 years in the design and marketing industry, and like all good tales, it features a loyal companion, an epiphany, and a lamb bhuna - as our founder Andy explains…
The hero of our story:
This is Bonnie - my best friend that embodied the best in everything. She’s gone now but she was a big, beautiful Newfoundland that always drew attention, always stood out and was always memorable.
But more than her size and her fluff, people always remember the way she made them feel.
She made people happy.
Let me give you an example…
I was speaking to a business owner at an event (over a lamb bhuna), when he suddenly lit up with a big smile and interrupted
“I know you, you’ve got a big dog!”
It turns out we used to walk past his business on our route about 5 years before this conversation.
And it was the way he said “big dog” that got me thinking…
The moment of inspiration:
Wouldn’t it be great if your brand made that same powerful and lasting impression, even after just a small interaction, that it still made someone smile 5 years later?
That would be really valuable wouldn’t it!
The villain of our story!
All good stories have a villain, and this one is no different.
I’ve seen the design and marketing industry from all angles: as the client, the agency and everything in between. It is an industry famous for making people feel unloved and under appreciated. I have never been happy with that.
I think it needs to be a bit more Bonnie, a bit more Big Dog.
Big Dog to the rescue!
As an agency, we do things differently, embodying all those magical qualities I learned from Bonnie:
Make you smile
Be the support you need
Stand out
Be memorable
Keep you safe
Big Dog will help your brand do the same, and pay it forward.
