‘Trickopedia’, a national search for Australia’s most Wacko dog trick is the first ever online encyclopaedia of dog tricks where dog owners can upload snaps of their pooches and anyone can caption them with a chance to win $5K.

“Trickopedia capitalises on two things we already know – that people love to talk about their dogs and dogs love Schmackos, so we loved the idea when DDB presented it to us,” says Emily Dowling, Marketing Manager Care & Treats.

Says Oliver Lynch, DDB Group Melbourne Managing Partner “With a proven track record on TV it’s great to take this iconic brand into a new space.  And by leveraging an existing online behaviour, we’ve found a way to hit that digital sweet spot with a campaign that will deliver high involvement and reach.”
