Overview

PetMeds is the nation’s go-to provider for pet prescriptions and wellness products. As they transitioned from the iconic “1-800-PetMeds” legacy to a modern digital-first brand, they enlisted James Ross to create a more emotional, human connection—while maintaining the conversion-driven performance that powers their business.

The Challenge

PetMeds’ heritage name carried strong trust, but many of their marketing materials felt dated and overly transactional. To stay relevant, they needed to refresh their creative to resonate emotionally with today’s pet owners, modernize direct mail, email, social, and landing pages for digital-first engagement, and elevate storytelling while maintaining the strong ROI of their established channels.

The Solution

James Ross infused PetMeds’ communications with warmth and authenticity—layered over a data-backed performance framework.
