TEDDY THE DOG: Teddy’s People
2008 - 2015
Jon - Art Director & Brand Management
As the heart and soul of all things Teddy the Dog: from identifying the creative strategy to designing and creating each every product and graphic. In my “spare time” I manage all the website design and maintenance, ensure quality control, and provide personal, hands-on customer service to our enthusiastic fan base. I’ve been known to make everyone listen to really bad music, including my beloved dog, Honey. I also recently got a haircut, which means everyone can now see my face. They all applauded the move.
Michelle - Digital Marketing & Creative Direction
A marketing and social media mastermind, Michelle not only provides critical creative direction to the brand, but brings Teddy to the masses through clever and effective digital marketing campaigns. With a knack for all things technical, Michelle continues to streamline and help manage the “back end” off the business. Michelle’s answer to every question is “ just Google it.” She lives outside Boston with her three young daughter, husband, and, Bailey, their 17 year old beagle.
Keri - Marketing and Communications
As a writer and communications professional, Keri brings a witty, playful voice to Teddy the Dog. She pens Teddy’s DogBlog and provides both funny and relevant idea and content to help Teddy connect with his fans through social media and product. In her “downtime” Keri competes in triathlons. Not just the dinky ones. We’re talking Ironman. She lives outside Boston with her husband and three kids and dog Nelly.
Ted - Top Dog
As the owner of Teddy the Dog Apparel, Ted provided the original creative spark that brought Teddy the Dog into existence. He provides insightful direction to the brand and manages the “big picture,” including product sourcing, sales, and critical relationships with retailers and vendors. He has four daughters with his lovely wife, Layla. Translation: He’s always voted down at home. Luckily his golden retriever, Daisy, takes his side… sometimes. He’s also needed to keep Teddy the Dog in line. Whenever that’s actually possible.
Teddy the Dog - The Man
Every dog wants to be this guy and every body wants to own him. With his witty and clever humor Teddy appeals to people of all ages. His playful independent spirit will invigorate even the dullest human while his adventurous side appeals to an active crowd. Sometimes you just never know where he’s gonna end up!
