The Challenge

Petzi, a fledgling SME in the FMCG sector, aimed to curate and sell premium pet food brands online in the UAE. However, they faced several roadblocks:

UI/UX Misalignment: Their initial website, designed for brand awareness, lacked e-commerce optimization, delaying their market debut.
Development Delays: With only a homepage developed after two months, the project had stalled, and misaligned with the UI/UX vision, further pushing back launch timelines.
Brand Identity Confusion: Despite having a logo, Petzi struggled with defining its brand identity, voice, and visual guidelines.
Social Media Strategy Void: Wanting to utilize social media without a clear strategy led to a brand-centric approach that lacked engagement.
