Best Brand Copy at Global Pet Expo 2024
As a copywriter heavily ensconced in the pet industry, I look forward to brand copy at Global Pet Expo every year. Each year, thousands of pet professionals converge to the show floor at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
The Global Pet Expo is an annual trade show and conference dedicated to the pet industry. It is one of the most significant events of its kind, bringing together pet product manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, and industry professionals worldwide. The expo showcases the latest trends, innovations, and products in the pet care market.
While the expo is a visual feast of inventive designs and pet-friendly gadgets, one aspect that truly sets brands apart is their copywriting. Clever, engaging, and persuasive copy can make all the difference in capturing attention and driving sales. Let’s dive into some of the standout brand copywriting at the Global Pet Expo 2024.
What Makes For The Best Brand Copy at Global Pet Expo
Brand copywriting is an art—an art of communicating your brand’s personality and messaging effectively enough to differentiate yourself from competitors, but also enticing and engaging enough to serve as your brand’s voice.
Effective brand copywriting communicates what a brand offers and what it stands for. Creating a strong emotional connection with the target audience differentiates one brand from another, especially on a crowded expo floor of thousands.
Brand copywriting is the convergence of storytelling and story selling – the intersection where brand identity lingers in the mind of the audience, long after passing by the signage, booth, or displays.
The best brand copy at Global Pet Expo exceeds the following criteria to make our list:
- Creative: Unique and innovative approach
- Engaging: Emotional appeal (humor? off the beaten path? Serious?)
- Clarity: Is it clear and concise
- Brand consistency: Is it on point with the rest of the brand’s tone, values, and messaging?
- UVP: Clear unique value proposition (UVP) that clearly stands out
- Audience-Centric approach: Showing the brand deeply and clearly understands their audience’s pain points and desires.
- Benefit-Oriented Messaging: Features are facts, which are great. How is the copy solving problems or enhancing a pet parent’s life?
- Visual Harmony: Do the designs and graphics present in harmony with the copy?
We looked at signage and product/packaging messaging in our copy assessment.

Zymox Ear Wipes
What It Is: Ear wipes for dogs and cats that contain no antibiotics or harsh ingredients, thanks to the ZYMOX LP3 enzyme system.
Why We Love the Copy: This signage is memorable and hits a home run with the dog ear flipped up next to the product benefits. We appreciate that ZYMOX shared the benefits, not just the facts, so that anyone walking by knows what the product is designed to do.
