Welcome back to Top Dogs of Marketing, where this week we have not one but five dogs on show from the team at Phantom Billstickers.
On any given day, there’s any number of puppers roaming the outdoor advertising company’s Auckland office – they’ve been a dog-friendly business since the beginning when billstickers would take their canine friends on poster runs, says CEO Robin McDonnell. Their logo commerorates one such friend, bulldog Raymond Louis.
McDonnell was so excited when he heard about the Top Dog initiative that he immediately wrangled the three dogs who were in the office at the time – Missy, Tracey and Obi – for a squad photo.
Say hello to the crew

Tarzan (the cat)
We’re not going to make a habit of this, but honorable mention also goes to Tarzan the cat, who is the furry companion of Phantom’s marketing manager Tom Horton. “Tarzan is a full legend!” declares Horton. Enough said.
Top Dogs of Marketing is our regular Friday feature where we unleash our furry favourites and celebrate their contribution to office life. Last week, we featured Louis of the Marketing Association, who might just be the most cuddled dog in Auckland.
If you reckon your very good girl or boy deserves to feature in a future #TDOM, tell us all about them using the form below.
