Petplan, a leading pet insurance company based in London, commissioned us to design and develop a custom online Advent calendar with a focus on mobile optimization. The calendar was also aimed at increasing overall brand awareness, and with over 72,000 visits, it was a resounding success.
Our team designed a bespoke Advent calendar for Petplan, running from December 1st to the 24th. Our creative team collaborated with Petplan to ensure that the calendar reflected their brand style and aesthetics, including playful animations of pets. The calendar offered entrants the opportunity to win a wealth of pet essentials, such as treats from Lily's Kitchen, with over 100 available in a single day. The Petplan online calendar was a global success, attracting and being entered by people from the UK, USA, France, and even Poland.

Not at all. While one of our clients once offered a family trip to New York, a truly memorable prize, but that level of extravagance isn’t necessary. Many campaigns include something simple like a service discount or gift voucher, but it’s entirely up to you. Of course, larger or more exciting prizes can help attract more entries, but the choice is yours.
