Digital LA - Digital Dogs

If you love dogs and digital, this is perfect for you! Join us in celebrating National Dog Week, by featuring Silicon Beach dog-related startups and content creators that all help us take care of man's best friend, and get a bite of the estimated $60B pet care industry, according to the American Pet Products Assocation. 

Meet Zingy (on demand dog walkers), Dog Land (Yelp for dogs), PrideBites (custom pet accessories), Bark'N'Borrow (dog sitters), Vet On Demand (Skype with vets), and Reach Agency (digital content strategy for Purina).

We'll discuss how these startups and content crators market and promote their services from digital marketing to social media and influencers (and cute puppies!), determine which new features to add, grow their teams, and gain trust of dog owners. We'll be at the new Santa Monica WeWork - Santa Monica Promenade, which is dog friendly, so yes you can bring your (friendly, plays well with others) dog!
