Meet Royce, Champion Portuguese Water Dog, official Company Mascot and Professional Model. A true Covid-puppy, Royce is a velcro dog, earning his infamous middle name, FOMO. Like so many folks during the Pandemic, we had to find our fun times! Naturally, ipseity, LLC established an internal branding project, rather ‘Pet Project’ starring Royce! We gradually built a respectable organic following, obtained several sponsorships and contracted with retail brand, GFPetto produce lifestyle content for their Summer 2021 Marketing Campaign. With Elyse Heise behind the lens, Royce took the City of Chicago by storm, posing at iconic Chicago landmarks. Be sure to scroll to the end to see behind-the-scenes celebrity moments shaking paws with his public.
