Louis Vuitton are always looking to think outside the box. To promote their colorful new collection in collaboration with the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, they wanted to push the boundaries.

The brand wanted their collection to stand out from the crowd and be seen by as many people as possible. To achieve this, they turned to Pinterest.

Thinking outside the box

People on Pinterest love the bold. Louis Vuitton created a powerful video, specially designed to challenge the frame of the Pin. In this exclusive ad, an optical illusion made it seem as though touches of colour were escaping from the Pin and covering up the home feed.

The brand wanted the launch of this global campaign to make a big impression and reach a maximum number of users interested in luxury, fashion and beauty in the French, German, UK, Italian and Spanish markets. So they activated Pinterest Premiere, a new video advertising solution that enables large-scale awareness through exclusive video placements.

With more than 3.5 million views in just three days, Louis Vuitton's campaign got off to a spectacular start.¹

This trend was confirmed during the second wave of the campaign, with 6 million impressions recorded in the French market, at a CPM 50% more below the vertical benchmark.¹
