Objective
Rituals sought to inspire shoppers ahead of Mother’s Day by reinforcing its reputation as the ultimate destination for luxurious Body Care Gift Sets. The goal extended beyond simple brand recognition: Rituals aimed to increase consumer consideration, strengthen brand preference and ultimately drive purchase intent across two key European markets: Belgium and The Netherlands.
Key Product
Demand-Side Platform (DSP), Dynamic creative, POI Targeting
By combining dynamic creative with premium placements and precise targeting, Rituals inspired shoppers across Belgium and the Netherlands, achieving standout double-digit gains in awareness, consideration and purchase intent.
Luxury gifting meets premium precision
Vistar Media partnered with Rituals to activate a DOOH campaign that paired premium placements with smart targeting around strategic locations during prime store hours.
Owning the moment across the Netherlands
Rituals drove traffic in stores through high-impact screens near (within 1.4km) Rituals’ flagship locations across the entire country. Point of interest targeting was used around stores including placements on:
- Train station screens
- Outdoor urban panels
- Metro stations
- Shopping malls
Localised creative in Belgium
Since Mother’s Day is celebrated earlier in Belgium, Rituals utilised regional POI targeting with bespoke creative for Antwerp, alongside national mall, metro and urban panel placements.
From recognition to preference: Rituals leads the way
Rituals secured the #1 position in competitive brand awareness, outperforming peers such as L’Occitane and Douglas. The campaign delivered meaningful lifts across every key brand metric, reinforcing Rituals’ leadership in the luxury gifting category.
