Alpo on Tap
The “Alpo On Tap” bar concept directly bridges the human “bad day/reward” experience with the dog’s life: Dogs are invited to the “bar” after a walk or activity (the dog’s equivalent of a workday) to select from various “taps” of different Alpo flavors.
“Crack Open a Cold One” with Alpo
Expanding this idea to live in-store with new packaging in the form of beer cans and 6-packs helps drive home the connection between drinking and an opportunity for a dog to indulge itself after a long day.
This campaign successfully leveraged a deep-seated truth about dogs’ emotional lives to position Alpo not just as food,but as a meaningful, deserved,and indulgent reward.
