What we do
Advertising
Every quarter, Dog Friendly KW releases a new issue of the Dog Friendly KW Community Guide. The Dog Friendly KW Community Guide is a comprehensive digital guide that has been widely circulated in the community for free. The guide contains detailed information about dog friendly and dog related businesses in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and surrounding areas. Businesses who advertise in the guide, will be promoting to a niche audience of dog owners locally. The guide has been featured in the Waterloo Chronicle, The Record and on CTV News!
Events
In addition to the several events Dog Friendly KW hosts a year, we can offer support or lead the planning and coordination of dog friendly events. We have coordinated several events in partnership with many business of various size and scope. We we also awarded Platinum in Kitchener-Waterloo Community Votes 2022 in the Event and Party Planning category.
Podcast sponsorship
The Dog Friendly KW podcast started in December 2020 and is produced by Matthew Rappolt at Midtown Radio KW. The podcast airs weekly on Midtown Radio and is available on all platforms where you listen to your podcasts. We dive into interesting or controversial dog topics to offer new perspectives, support our local dog community and to spread the joy of dogs. We offer flexible packages for podcast sponsorship to meet the needs of all businesses. Listen here.
Content development
We have experience creating content related to dogs and dog friendly experiences for a number of businesses and organizations. We are skilled in writing blog posts, educational content, itineraries and magazine pieces.
Here is a sample of our work from Explore Waterloo Region in summer 2020.
