We aim to break stereotypes and normalize conversations around pleasure because we believe this is the key to opening minds and unlocking growth in the category.
Our films’ protagonists demonstrate a gleeful delight, which actually mirrors (with some creative license) the reactions we have seen in real life, to our offerings. Our objective with this campaign was to create a relatable, endearing communication that establishes Love Depot as the Ultimate Pleasure Destination, and we feel these films have achieved that. We are certain that audiences will love and appreciate the films as well.”
Love Depot has a huge lineup of products, housing national and international brands, providing limitless options for customers to fulfill their pleasure desires.
