While working at Francolini’s, I had a unique opportunity to merge my on-the-job experience with an academic project.

Our class formed mini-agencies to support local businesses. The result was the “Backyard Bark” event. Basically, a fun community-oriented dog adoption event that showcased Francolini’s commitment to bringing people (and pets) together.

My team’s role was to ensure a seamless experience from a marketing standpoint. All together we set the stage for a memorable day for both customers and rescue dogs alike!

On the day of “Backyard Bark,” our mini-agency team took charge of the event’s marketing while the Francolini’s staff focused on making sandwiches. We created stories on the deli’s Instagram page, sharing everything from behind-the-scenes setup to real-time adoption happening!

By highlighting adoptable dogs and capturing unique moments of families meeting their future pets, we built excitement and encouraged followers to join in person. The result was a lively feel good gathering. Customers enjoyed great food, rescue dogs found homes, and Francolini’s saw increased foot traffic and community engagement.

Overall, the “Backyard Bark” event demonstrated how a carefully planned hands-on marketing strategy could connect people, support a good cause, and showcase the welcoming atmosphere at Francolini’s.
