Back in the days before pet food giant Chewy was the giant they are today, they were just four guys in a Florida office looking for a logo to help introduce their new business to the world.
They wanted a fun, lovable canine character to represent the company and an artist who knew how to make that happen. This character needed to help them be unique and stand out from their competitors and build brand awareness.
You may remember the early days before the name change. They were actually Mr. Chewy. This is the story of where the characters came from and how Bob Ostrom Studio helped create their brand.
THE ASSIGNMENT
