Brand context

Me-O is the leading nutritional cat food product in the Thai market with a wide range of products ranging from taste to price.

In 2018, Me-O entered the Vietnamese market, at this time the feed market in Vietnam is still quite young. Pet owners do not have knowledge of pet care and still have the habit of feeding with human food.

The difficult problem for the Me-O Vietnam team is not only to communicate to increase brand awareness, but also to develop the cat food market. And to do this, it need a team of experienced brand communication companions

After 3 years of accompanying with 1990 Agency, Me-O Vietnam has become the market leading cat food brand, from 2019 to 2021. As one of the brands that owns the largest community of experts in cat nutrition and health, with many activities dedicated to cat lovers every year.

This success comes from Me-O having quality products at reasonable prices, a methodical marketing communication strategy and the patience of the Me-O Vietnam marketing team and the constant creative efforts of 1990 Agency.
