Est.2023 Positioning themselves as the world’s favorite dog brand, serving over 1.7 million happy monthly subscribers, BARK introduced a total in-house rebranding in January 2021 and a new brand experience launched at their office headquarters in lower Manhattan in 2023, led by Creative Director Henri Kusbiantoro.
In transforming its new brand identity and visual system, we successfully brought out the big idea of “Making magic for all dogs and their people” by delivering a genuine inspiration through a dog’s soulful, innocent eyes “to see and find the magic and surprise inside yourself.” — The new identity is bold, unapologetic, distinctive and symbolizes dog-like qualities: honesty, authenticity and quirkiness. It helps all of us get to BE more dog.
