In 2009, Earth Rated recognized a common issue faced by dog owners - the inconvenience of using large, flimsy, and wasteful grocery store bags to pick up after their dogs. That’s when they set out to create affordable, leak-proof, and high-quality poop bags, along with a handy dispenser. Since then, they’ve continued to innovate and launch new products to make life with dogs simpler and better. Today, Earth Rated bags are used by over 4.5 million people daily and can be found in over 20,000 stores in 40+ countries.
The brand's commitment to sustainability and their thoughtful product designs set them apart in the pet product industry. Their unique blend of innovation, eco-consciousness, and dedication to customer satisfaction has helped Earth Rated carve out a niche for itself, becoming the go-to choice for many pet owners seeking products that are both practical and planet-friendly.
Despite Earth Rated's popularity and growing customer base, the company strived to put more focus on managing their public relations effectively. Prior to working with PR Volt, they had never worked with a PR agency. Earth Rated's primary PR objectives were to increase traffic and sales, as well as to improve their conversion rate.

Recognizing the need for professional assistance, Earth Rated turned to PR Volt to help them overcome these challenges and create a public image that truly represented their brand.

With this knowledge, PR Volt was able to create tailored pitches that accurately reflected the brand's identity, ensuring that their messaging was consistent and resonated with their target audience.
To develop a targeted PR strategy, PR Volt meticulously crafted media lists based on keyword and competitor monitoring, ensuring that their outreach efforts reached the most relevant and influential publications. They also closely monitored media demand, enabling them to craft pitch ideas that aligned with both the client's objectives and the interests of the media outlets they were targeting. This strategic approach to pitching allowed PR Volt to secure valuable coverage for Earth Rated, effectively raising the brand's profile and helping them achieve their PR objectives.
In addition to their strategic media outreach, PR Volt worked closely with Earth Rated to develop a comprehensive PR plan that addressed the company's specific needs and challenges. This included refining their messaging, setting clear objectives, and establishing a roadmap for their PR efforts to ensure that they remained on track to achieve their goals.
