HARNESSING THE POWER OF RITUAL

How brands can use rituals

Defining rituals

Rituals are symbolic acts that can mark a moment of transition (like wearing a mortarboard at graduation) or impose order on the chaos of nature (like lighting fireworks to mark the arbitrary "beginning" of a year).

How brands can use rituals

Like societal rituals, brands can create cultural rituals to earn loyalty with customers. Kit-Kat bars taste the same no matter when they're eaten, but The Hershey Company created a ritual around eating it while on break. Likewise, the Pumpkin Spice Latte has an inseparable association with the beginning of autumn. Listening to music, reading, and watching movies has a defined time and place, so how can Circles create ritual in that space?

EXECUTION

To keep with Circle's lighthearted and inviting tone, we designed the website to have calming colors and shapes with friendly illustrations.
