Meet Amelie: Queen of the Office Dogs!

The competition was not only stiff, it was worldwide! And when judges came down to choosing the winner of StartPup 2016, they boiled it down to Amelie, a sweet-faced Frenchie who relishes her role as “Head of Client Services” for the London-based branding agency, Rooster Punk.

The competition was billed as the first ever for startup dogs and put together by Wistia, a marketing and analytics platform, in a collaboration with Humane Society International. Startup companies worldwide were encouraged to create two-minute videos about their resident office pooches, showcasing how having dogs in the workplace contributes to a positive environment. The contest was inspired in part by Wistia’s own office dog: Lenny.

“It is obvious to me that wherever you are, office pups can be a positive and welcome influence at work.” Chris Lavigne, Wistia’s video production head and Lenny’s owner, told Newsweek.

In addition to her fancy new title, Amelie won a lifetime Wistia video plan, a $500 donation to a local Humane Society, and a GroPro camera for the human workers at Rooster Punk.

The runner-up was miniature poodle Charlie from Los Angeles-based online marketing company Wpromote. Honorable mentions included the many office dogs at SCOTTeVEST, the clothing startup that says its offices are “dog-centric.”

“It’s not just about the environment we created for the dogs, but about the happiness we all have by having our dogs beside us during the day,” SCOTTeVest said in a Facebook post.

Amelie took the win “on the account of her blend of humor, elegance, and adventurousness,” Wistia said in its news release.
