From MLB stadiums, to philanthropic initiatives, partnerships with rescue organizations, and a membership-based off-leash dog park, Dogsters ® delivers high-impact brand moments that connect dog lovers on an emotional level.

This summer, MELT negotiated sponsorships and produced world-class activations for our client Dogsters® Ice Cream Style Treats for Dogs, a brand of J&J Snack Foods®.

Dogsters® was proud to join the Miami Marlins at Loan Depot Park on July 6th for their Bark at the Park game – bringing cool treats and branded fun to fans and their four-legged companions. Attendees enjoyed Dogsters® Ice Cream, participated in a QR code giveaway running on social, and stayed cool with Dogsters® branded cooling towels. The Dogsters ® presence added excitement to the event and helped create a memorable game day experience for pet parents and pups alike. Dogsters® is excited to continue our 2025 Bark at the Park tour with more MLB partner across the country.

This summer, Dogsters® created content along with partners and influencers to share and highlight the good that can be done when we come together. From content, highlighting partnerships with rescue organizations like the Ozzie Albies Foundation, and hospital visits with Brodie the Goldendoodle, to sharing content at Dogsters® engaging events across the US, impressions reached nearly 5 million this summer, with a follower growth rate of 33%.

With a dynamic mix of an immersive foam experience, live DJ, branded park signage, and social media incentives, Dogsters® brought the excitement to Fetch Park during the Dogsters® Days of Summer! Through foam-filled fun, real-time content capture, and giveaways on social to drive followers and engagement, the activation sparked job, encouraged content creation and built lasting brand love. The experience within Fetch delivered fun moments that captured the spirit of summer in true Dogsters® style.

Wellstar Health System brought the spirit of Breast Cancer Awareness Day to life at Truist Park, teaming up with the Atlanta Braves for a special celebration at the third base entry gate. Braves fans were greeted with a lineup of lively and heartfelt experiences designed to inspire, uplift, and honor those affected by breast cancer.

Fans were treated to a variety of activities, including bracelet-making, grabbing a pair of free sunglasses, snapping photos with a giant chair, fun handheld props, and an oversized pink baseball that quickly filled with heartfelt signatures, honoring breast cancer survivors and fighters.

Excitement hit a high note with a live autograph session from Braves alum, Jonny Ventors, who took time to meet fans and share in the day’s powerful purpose. Meanwhile, the always-energetic Dr. Wellbee brought big smiles as he mingled with guests of all ages, spreading cheer and encouragement.

A custom Braves co****le challenge gave guests a chance to show off their skills. It took four intense hours before one determined player finally cracked the 300-point mark to take home a Braves jersey.

To top it all off, the Braves broadcast a live interview from the Wellstar footprint right onto the stadium’s big screens, amplifying the message of awareness and resilience to thousands of fans in attendance.

Together, Wellstar and the Braves made it a day to remember – where community, courage, and the fight against breast cancer took center field.

Let's build your next home run activation! Reach out to Vince Thompson, CEO of MELT, to connect and knock your brand and sponsorship out of the park!
