  • Evolving the Brand with Care and Clarity

    Formerly known as Adelaide Hills Groodles, the program’s relocation to the Clare Valley created the need for a new name that would remain relevant while avoiding confusion.

    As an award-winning ethical breeder with a loyal community, the name change carried risk; it needed to minimise loyalty loss while reinforcing trust.

    After consulting with their online community and exploring options, FEENEY recommended a simple strategic pivot: removing Hills to become Adelaide Groodles. This evolution retained familiarity while broadening geographic relevance.

    Built on the foundation of ethical breeding and nurturing environments, FEENEY then refined the brand’s visual and emotional expression.

    The refreshed logo, a playful blend of wagging tail and paw forming a rising sun, encapsulates positivity, warmth, and trust. Paired with an inviting colour palette and applied consistently across collateral, the identity established a cohesive, approachable presence designed to resonate with future puppy owners.

  • Designing a Seamless and Engaging Experience


    To extend the brand online, FEENEY built a new Adelaide Groodles website that showcased both values and expertise. A clean, intuitive design paired with concise copywriting and lifestyle imagery created an engaging and user-friendly experience.

    A comprehensive expression of interest form streamlined enquiries, reducing friction and improving customer interaction.

    The site’s design and content didn’t just inform, it created an emotional connection, positioning Adelaide Groodles as both professional and caring in the eyes of prospective puppy owners.

  • Strengthening Connection Through Storytelling


    FEENEY directed and produced a series of authentic lifestyle images that reflected the joy and warmth at the heart of Adelaide Groodles. Captured in a relaxed, playful environment, the imagery highlighted the genuine happiness of the puppies, strengthening emotional appeal and reinforcing the brand’s promise.

    Combined with a brand showreel, these assets brought Adelaide Groodles’ story to life across digital and collateral platforms.

    The result is a cohesive and welcoming brand experience that not only builds trust but also fosters lasting emotional connections with families as they embark on their journey with a new puppy.
