As the pet industry moves through 2026, success will depend less on chasing growth and more on understanding it. The brands that win will be the ones that recognize not just how big the market is, but how it’s changing, and why. The latest State of the Industry data from the American Pet Products Association paints a picture of a category that’s not only resilient but evolving in more nuanced ways. Did you know the 2026 State of the Industry Report is included with your APPA membership? 👀 Not a member? You can still purchase the full report—or check out a free preview.

Met a stranger. Built a pitch. Won $10,000 for a nonprofit. 🥳 This was my first pitch competition — and it reminded me of something: The skills we use every day? They can actually do something bigger. Not just sell. Not just optimize. But create even bigger impact. Grateful to have been paired with Jennifer Lin Freedman — we went from “nice to meet you” to building something that ultimately supported Pets In The Classroom and the work they’re doing to connect kids with animals and hands-on learning. 👏 Thank you to Global Pet Expo and The Pet Summit for hosting this Marketing Innovation Lab and facilitating real impact in our pet industry community!

If you walked through the doors of Global Pet Expo this year, this post is for you. What you felt wasn't accidental. 33 people in this photo. Countless partners behind the scenes. All of it built around one person. You. What you didn't see was the year that lived before you arrived. Twelve months of diverging. Big ideas, bold questions, directions that challenged everything we did the year before. Brainstorms that sprawl. Perspectives that collide. Newcomers who don't know the rules yet pushing veterans who've forgotten why the rules existed in the first place. And then the converging. The hard, disciplined work of narrowing. Of deciding what stays and what gets left behind. Anchoring a team, a strategy, and a network of partners around one clear feeling we wanted you to walk away with. That cycle, diverge, converge, execute, is where the brand is actually built. Long before you set foot on the show floor. The internal team carries the institutional knowledge. Veterans who've seen what breaks and what holds, who mentor the newest voices on the team. Those newcomers who ask the question everyone else stopped asking. The creative tension between deep experience and fresh eyes is where the best thinking lives. And then there's the extended team. They don't just deliver a service. They protect the feeling. The feeling you had when something just worked. When a moment landed. When you thought, I need to come back next year. That wasn't luck. Marty Neumeier, author of The Brand Gap, calls it brand alignment. Every person who touches the work pulling toward the same gut feeling they want you to carry home. Bob Goff, author of Love Does, calls it showing up for people. Fully. At every level. That's what this team does. For a full year before you ever arrive. And while you're reading this, planning for 2027 is already underway. For you. One team. One standard. One individual at a time. That's not an event. That's a brand. #GlobalPetExpo #APPA #BrandExperience #PetIndustry #Leadership #Mentorship #BrandStewardship American Pet Products Association (APPA)Global Pet Expo Brad Necrason, CEM Elizabeth Jackson Brittany Marchetti Jennifer Miller, CEM Tony Petrucci GES - Global Experience Specialists Harvest Productions INC HMXLive, a Unit of Harvest Productions Inc Josh Koan Tyler Nissen Pete S.
