Dolce&Gabbana Launches Its New Hero Pillar,
to Take on the Men’s Fragrance Market

K by Dolce&Gabbana is presented in an uncompromisingly masculine and never-before seen bottle, created by Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana. This is the story an Italian man, a born leader, inspiring his friends, taking care of his family - he is a King of everyday life. 
 
The continued success of K by Dolce&Gabbana resulted from two key launches — K by Dolce&Gabbana Eau De Toilette launched in 2019 and Eau De Parfum in 2020.

OBJECTIVES

  • Create a high performing fragrance pillar within the men’s category.
  • Obtain high brand visibility within a retail environment at launch and key times, such as Father’s Day.
  • Drive category growth.

360° LAUNCH APPROACH

For the launch to succeed, we needed the consumer journey to be highly visible and engaging. Therefore, it was important for us to create a journey where consumers would be aware of the brand at different touchpoints and finally convert at store level.

Our key communication channels were: SEO, Display Ads, OOH, Online and Instore during the launch months.

AWARENESS: Out-Of-Home

Over 2,334 out of home touchpoints were created, for consumers to see the new launch by Dolce&Gabbana.

Both digital and social targeted consumers when they communicated with their social channels or simply browsing the network for gifts or fragrances.
Key channels: SEO, SEM, Display Ads & Social Media.
