CLIENT CHOKOPOTEN
CONTEXT STUDENT PROJECT
ROLE BRAND STRATEGY AND LEAD GRAPHIC DESIGNER
INITIAL BRIEF
handmade chocolate treats that are safe for dogs. Founded through The Real Startup course, the concept was validated through real market testing, showing a strong conversion rate of around 70% despite being in its early stages. Made from carob powder, coconut oil, peanut butter, and blueberries, the product mimics real chocolate without using cocoa, positioning itself as a premium, gourmet alternative to traditional dog treats.
At first glance, the idea of chocolate for both dogs and humans feels unusual, but it reflects a growing trend of shared experiences between pets and owners. When we began, the brand lacked a visual identity, research, and packaging, but had a clear ambition: to appeal to young dog owners in Copenhagen with a personality described as a golden retriever—warm, joyful, energetic, and charming.
Challenge accepted! Woof!
RESEARCH
Part of the family
Dogparents exist across all ages and locations, driven by a strong emotional bond. In Denmark, 74% of women say pets help reduce loneliness, and 94% of dog owners consider their dog part of the family—something reflected in spending, with most owners investing up to 2,000 DKK monthly. This connection is also visible on social media, where dogs gain massive followings, and in cafés offering treats like puppuccinos. Altogether, this highlights a growing trend: pets are increasingly humanized and included in everyday rituals and small indulgences.
