Bark Social, the first social club for dogs in the mid-Atlantic, teamed up with GroundTruth to increase visits to their doors.

While the clubhouse invites “dogs and dog lovers to have fun”, Bark Social wanted to attract both dog owners as well as new audiences who might not necessarily own a pet but want to experience a first-of-its-kind venue and unique night out.

Throughout a three-month campaign, GroundTruth helped Bark Social reach key audiences based on behaviors such as visitation specific categories of businesses and brands within driving distance of the Bethesda, Maryland staple and ultimately brought hundreds of footprints and pawprints through their doors.
