“If you draw a Venn diagram around moms and shitheads, you’ll see that they’re both hard workers,” said Lexi Rodriguez, Creative Director at Giant Spoon. “I wanted to lean on my mother’s energy, which I never have, and celebrate that.” ”
“Ritual wanted to be ‘punk rock,’ so this was an attempt to challenge convention from the beginning,” says Olivia-Gene Fagon, Creative Director at Giant Spoon. “The key was to portray a multifaceted millennial woman who is cool, charismatic and warm, without resorting to tired mother clichés. Vitamin ads also tend to be boring and perfunctory, so comedic became an unexpected trump card, but without sacrificing visual quality. We created a highly realist world for the mother that still packs a punch.”
Navigating the ever-changing wellness space can be difficult, and consumers are questioning and researching everything more than ever. This often equates to additional emotional labor. Unlike other wellness brands, Ritual scours the world to find ingredient suppliers who care about their impact as much as we do, demonstrating that others have verified the safety of our products.
