Introduction

Designer Parfums partnered with OptimO Marionnaud France to launch an innovative retail media campaign for the fragrance VIVO CERRUTI 1881. The campaign aimed to create a strong brand presence across multiple touchpoints, blending OptimO Offline, OptimO Offsite and OptimO Onsite activations to engage consumers and drive both awareness and conversion.

 

 

Objective

The campaign was designed with a two-phase goal:

  • Year 1 (2024): Build brand awareness for the launch of VIVO CERRUTI 1881.
  • Year 2 (2025): Drive conversion and strengthen loyalty through targeted activations.

 

 

Strategy

The strategy centred on a 360° omnichannel approach to reach the target audience – men aged 20–35 – through immersive storytelling and impactful brand experiences.

  • Category Focus: Claim: BREAK THE CODE. BE ALIVE.
  • Platform Optimisation: Narrative: The VIVO man embodies the spirit of modernity, seamlessly navigating between real and virtual worlds. Unlocking the code represents embarking on a sensory odyssey, reinforcing the fragrance’s identity as bold and dynamic.

 
Channels were selected to maximise visibility and engagement:

  • OptimO Onsite: Trade activities, DOOH in-store screens, beauty advisor interactions.
  • Optimo Offline: DOOH outdoor placements, Marionnaud HQ event.
  • OptimO Offline: Street marketing and sampling.
  • OptimO Offsite: Influencer partnerships, sponsored ads, and connected TV campaigns.

1. Awareness Phase (2024):

  • Sponsored Product Displays: High-impact OptimO Offline DOOH placements in-store and outdoors.
  • Creative Optimisation: OptimO Offline Street marketing and sampling to create tangible brand experiences.
  • Audience Targeting: OptimO Offsite Influencer-driven storytelling and connected TV ads to amplify reach.
