The truckside advertising campaign also utilized geotargeting strategies to ensure that the trucks were in the right place at the right time. By focusing on high-traffic areas around Sephora locations, the campaign effectively capitalized on consumer behavior patterns, reaching them at moments of high intent.

This precise targeting enabled OUAI to maximize its exposure to Sephora shoppers, encouraging them to explore the brand’s offerings both in-store and online.
