Content Strategy Types of content: Short product “tests” from a dog’s POV, daily life adventures, humorous tips, community shout-outs Topics: Toy durability, comfort & grooming gear, nutrition made fun, playtime bonding ideas, seasonal pet joy Content angles: Always playful, relatable, educational-light, and action-oriented 5 content ideas: “Zoomie Test” series — Ziggy rates a new toy by playing with it and giving a 1–10 bark score with live action footage. “A Day in My Paws” — Timelapse of Ziggy using brand products throughout his day (walk, play, nap). “Paw-some Pick of the Week” — Quick recommendation + demo of one must-have product. “Ask Ziggy” — Playful Q&A answering real pet-owner questions in character. “Product Adventure” — Short story where Ziggy uses a product on an imaginary backyard quest. 8. Platform Usage Best fits: Instagram (Reels & Stories for quick demos), TikTok (viral short videos), YouTube (longer storytelling episodes), Pinterest (cute image pins for inspiration boards), Facebook pet groups (community engagement). How to use effectively: Post 3–5 times per week with Ziggy as the narrator/star in every visual. Use his voice in all captions. Encourage user-generated content by asking followers to share their pets with “Ziggy-approved” items. Run polls (“What should Ziggy test next?”) and reply to comments in character for instant community growth. 9. Branding & Positioning How the character represents the brand: Ziggy is the warm, trustworthy, fun face that proves products actually deliver joy in real pet life. Emotional connection with audience: Pet owners feel seen, nostalgic, and part of a happy “pack.” Ziggy reduces buying anxiety by showing genuine excitement and results. Positioning angle: “The Official Play Tester” — the brand isn’t just selling stuff; it’s the friendly expert guaranteeing more wags, cuddles, and happy zoomies. Stands out from clinical competitors by being warm, approachable, and delightfully playful. 10. Consistency System Rules to maintain consistency: Every single image or video must follow the exact visual identity (colors, bandana, proportions, chibi style). Voice must include at least one pun and stay energetic/positive. Always tie content back to product joy and pet bonds. What to always include: Red paw-print bandana, large sparkling blue eyes, golden fluffy fur, cheerful expression, “Ziggy Paws” name or paw watermark. What to avoid: Realistic or dark art styles, negative language, human clothing beyond bandana/backpack, scary scenarios, inconsistent colors or proportions. 11. Character Variations Variation 1: Cozy Ziggy (for bedding, calming, or grooming products) — Same core look but softer, slightly droopy-happy eyes, warmer color tones, and a small plush blanket scarf instead of just the bandana. Perfect for relaxing content. Variation 2: Explorer Ziggy (for outdoor, leash, or adventure toys) — Adds a tiny adventurer hat and loaded blue backpack; slightly dirtied paws for fun “real adventure” feel; more dynamic action poses while keeping the friendly core personality. 12.
