Let’s say you’ve decided to build a house. You could start by casually putting some lumber and shingles together on a rugged plot of land in favor of focusing all your attention on wall decorations and furnishings. Without a solid foundation, how long will this magnificent creation stay in place? A week? A month? A year? Though the amount of time may be unknown, the outcome is inevitable.

Of course, you’re looking for an agency that’s better than good. You want a marketing partner that’s innovative. Amazing. There for you and your brand. At Matrix Partners, we know what it takes to be all of those things and more for our clients. After all, you don’t thrive in the marketing world for three decades on “good.” If you find yourself wondering whether you’re talking to the right pet marketing agency, here are some positive signs.

Within the Matrix Partners office, word of mouth is more powerful than paid advertising. We’re all lifelong pet lovers, so when a coworker asks for product recommendations, someone on the team is ready to step up with suggestions. Food for sensitive tummies, safe harnesses for pulling pups, paw boots for harsh Chicago winters – if we don’t have a solution on our client roster, we have one on our personal favorites list.

Who’s ready for the holidays? We know we are! Here are some of our favorite holiday gifts for all the naughty or nice pets and pet lovers on your list this year.

At Matrix Partners, we’re endlessly thankful that we get to work with rescues and organizations that help pets. Many of our own pets are from shelters and many of the influencers we work with were adopted as well. We work with local shelters both individually and as a team, and make a point of donating supplies whenever we can. We’re passionate about all pets, but our hearts are with rescues.

Congratulations are in order for the Matrix Partners design team! In recognition of their creativity and innovation on new packaging designs this year, they are the recipients of three 2017 Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) American Graphic Design Awards.

Hi everybody! Office pup Penny Lane here taking over the Matrix Partners blog to tell you more about my recent road trip to Colorado with my mom and grandpa (papa) and to share some helpful tips for traveling with pets.

In the last five years, social media has grabbed more and more of the spotlight from traditional marketing. Our clients are seeing the value of a social media presence and are rerouting their tactics to incorporate these new previously unchartered efforts. Even though social media strategies and best practices seemingly change daily, one must-have item has stayed strong in our quest for success: the social media content calendar.

At Matrix Partners, we pride ourselves on being our clients’ target demographic – we’re pet lovers, pet owners, all-around pet people who want the best
