Results

The online platform has helped Crave achieve impressive results despite a market crisis. The brand successfully entered the market, becoming the fastest-growing premium pet food brand during the first nine months after its launch.

The strategy of starting with a focused set of features and gradually expanding the platform proved successful. The platform effectively met the evolving needs of its growing audience by continually adding valuable features and information. What began as a project with just a dozen pages evolved into a comprehensive pet information portal with over 200 pages, showcasing the platform’s ability to scale and adapt.
