- CMO Susanne Cornelius: “We are redefining the moment of giving. Every individual gift tells a personal story.”
Düsseldorf, 28 November 2019. For a long time now, there has been much more to gift-giving than the gift itself. A gift symbolises the relationship between the recipient and giver, it’s a means of communication. With the motto, “A gift can mean so much more”, Douglas is turning gifts into messengers of emotions during this year’s Christmas campaign. “Together with the creative agency Jung von Matt, we are providing an emotional and touching insight into the lives of different people,” said Susanne Cornelius, the CMO of Douglas GmbH. “We’re telling the personal story of each gift and the moment they’re given to underscore their deep meaning. We’re not talking about the present itself. It’s the gesture itself that counts and produces magical moments. The campaign pulls at your heartstrings.”
Douglas, one of the leading premium beauty retailers in Europe, is using its communication platform to promote acceptance, individuality and respect. In a reflection of its #FORWARDBEAUTY strategy, the company’s new Christmas campaign celebrates what makes us all unique.
The individual story behind every present is just as unique and special as the present itself. This is why, ultimately, it’s not what you give, but what it represents that really matters.
In addition to the TV spot, the Christmas theme will be supported on all relevant touchpoints by a major 360° campaign via print, Out-of-home, radio as well as an eye-catching, extensive digital activation including social media. The right present can be quickly found on the company’s own microsite. The shop windows and the interior design of Douglas stores will enchant beauty customers with their Christmas flair: whether they’re guiding the customer or offering some quick inspiration, these elements will highlight the company’s Christmas product range and its exclusive service – to create the perfect gift, in suitably festive wrapping.
