ritual
synopsis
Ritual, a subscription women’s multivitamin brand, wanted to create a new stand-alone site for its New Year’s resolution. The result is a first-of-its-kind blend of retail and meaningful, mindful habit change for consumers. It’s an amazing example of delivering value first, helping potential customers be better versions of themselves. Since Ritual was founded in 2015, they’ve sold 1 million bottles of vitamins and raised over $40M in venture funding.
