Product Life Cycle Project
While creating the PetSmart careers website, we were also tasked with creating a product life cycle tour that would show prospective employees all the opportunities available across the spectrum. From brainstorming new products at corporate HQ to delivering them to PetSmart stores through Transportation and Supply Chain, members across the entire PetSmart team play a significant role in the lives of pets and pet parents.
After (what seemed like) endless research and content distillation, we created a parallax scrolling website, showcasing the journey of “Fuzz in Boots” chew toy. As users scroll down the site, they discover just what it takes to bring new ideas to life at PetSmart and how they can be a part of it. The opportunities are endless.
