Fetching Meta Results for Happy Dog

Happy Dog, an established premium pet food brand, had previously experimented with Facebook Ads but achieved only limited success. After seeing remarkable growth in their Google Ads performance over a 6-month period, Infinity Nation recommended a trial expansion into Meta to scale their digital reach, grow revenue, and acquire new customers.

Happy Dog

Happy Dog has been a trusted name in the pet food industry for over 50 years. They pride themselves on crafting dog food from the finest natural ingredients.

Infinity Nation and Happy Dog have a long-standing relationship, having worked together since 2015, scaling their Google Ads account to find new customers. Always keen to support our client’s growth ambitions, Infinity Nation suggested Meta was re-tested (the brand had dabbled with paid social in 2022 but weren’t satisfied with the outcomes from the investment) and the activity commenced in February 2024.

The Challenge

While Happy Dog was acquiring new customers and boosting revenue through Google Ads, their ambitious growth targets prompted a fresh approach. Infinity Nation introduced Meta ads with the goal to:

  • Increase site sessions and attract more new visitors 
  • Improve cost-efficiency and reduce acquisition costs 
  • Boost brand visibility and support seasonal offers and promotions

 The biggest challenge was setting expectations with key stakeholders as Meta ads entered the crucial learning phase. With performance KPIs in place, the team ensured they had time for Meta’s algorithms to learn and optimise. Continuous monitoring of spend, creative impact, and audience targeting was essential to avoid the “set and forget” trap often encountered in digital campaigns. 

A Strategic Approach

Infinity Nation crafted a clear strategy to ensure a smooth and efficient Meta ad rollout. Throughout the campaign we collaborated with our creative partner, Green Tambourine, to brainstorm dynamic ideas that aligned with Happy Dog’s brand image. This early collaboration allowed Infinity Nation to map out a creative testing timeline and collect performance data to identify top-performing ads. 

One of the standout campaigns aligned Happy Dog with the buzz around EURO 2024, allowing the brand to gain visibility by tapping into such a high-profile event. Fun, on-trend creatives from Green Tambourine showcased Happy Dog in an engaging and playful light. 

As we started to gather Meta performance data, Infinity Nation continuously optimised messaging and creative assets, redirecting media spend to top-performing ads. Dry and puppy dog food ads emerged as standout performers, presenting further opportunities to target these customer groups.

Key Tactics: 

  • Creative testing using imagery of dogs versus focusing solely on dog food 
  • Prioritisation of high-performing dry and puppy food ads 
  • Use of dynamic creatives for campaigns tied to timely events (e.g. EURO 2024) 
  • Building Add-to-Cart campaigns with Lookalike Audiences from customers with high customer lifetime value (CLTV) 
  • Creation of A testing timeline, gathering performance data to use top performing assets

In just six months, Happy Dog saw transformational results from their Meta campaigns, including: 

Infinity Nation’s strategic approach not only boosted Happy Dog’s bottom line but also positioned them as a digital marketing success story. The strong collaboration, constant optimisation, and creative experimentation paid off, delivering optimal performance for the Happy Dog brand.
