About the Brand

Frannie's Fight started as one dog's journey that became everyone's fight.

Frannie arrived looking like an impossible case. She was severely overweight, barely able to stand, easy to look at and decide you already knew the rest of her story. Then she stood. She walked. She ran. She fell hopelessly in love with tennis balls. The whole world got to watch a dog no one expected much from become impossible to look away from.

Four hundred thousand people followed along. Good Morning America came knocking, along with outlets across the country. But the fame was never the point. People didn't watch Frannie's story from a distance. They lived inside it. They sent tennis balls. They donated. They laughed, cried, and threw their arms up in victory with her.

Not only did she show thousands of people what it looks like to fight for your own life, she was also a regular dog having the most ordinary of days... Eating breakfast, chasing a ball, falling asleep in her bowl. She was both at once, and that combination is exactly what we all fell for.

Loving Frannie was never passive. People wanted to do something with it, so they sent tennis balls, donated, and helped name the next dogs that needed someone in their corner. That same energy is now pointed at Penny and Piper, and their care carries real costs, vet visits, food, the mobility support that got Frannie to the finish line in the first place. The fight needed somewhere for people's love to actually land.

About the Brand

So we built a brand identity and message that carries Frannie's legacy into Penny and Piper's fight instead of asking anyone to leave her behind. We designed a merch line, shirts, hats, stickers, the gear people had already been asking for, that turns being part of Fran Club into something you can wear. And a website that gives people a real place to show up, to shop, to give, to watch the next dog become who she's going to be.

Frannie's fight isn't over. It lives on in Penny and Piper, and in everyone who loved her enough to keep showing up. The people who followed Frannie from the beginning don't want to be asked to move on from her. They want a place to keep loving her while they fall in love with who comes next.

This is what it looks like to render what's already alive in a story into resonance, reputation, and revenue.

"If you are looking for someone who can really listen to you and understand you almost immediately, and then convert that into a flawless brand or website, Amy is your girl. 

I cannot find the words to describe how incredible my experience was working with Amy. Immediately, she treated me like a friend and coached me through the process when I felt like a fish out of water. I knew I could immediately trust her and finally felt like someone was on my side.

I told her a few things I was looking for and she was able to make the most perfect brand as if she had known exactly what I was imagining. I was shocked at how well she captured my vision.

Thanks to Amy, I am able to expand our mission to continue caring for animals in need and giving more fighters the chance Frannie had.

She really has a gift and dedicates her time to listening to you and creating a brand and website that feels like she has been your friend all your life."
