Christofle has been synonymous with French elegance since 1830, crafting exquisite silver and home décor for nearly two centuries. But legacy can be a double-edged sword. In the U.S., awareness was low, the audience aging, and the brand risked fading into the very category it once defined. The challenge: make this heritage brand relevant again to a new generation of luxury consumers without losing its timeless prestige.

To reignite growth, we set out to see if younger, digitally fluent audiences could fall in love with Christofle’s modern luxury. Our mission was to reintroduce the brand where aspiration meets access—through smart data, precise targeting, and storytelling that turned curiosity into desire.

Rather than chase clicks, we built connections. Using behavior-based targeting and CRM insights, we surrounded prospects across luxury and lifestyle environments, dynamically serving personalized ads based on browsing behavior and cart activity to keep Christofle top-of-mind.

Through a partnership with XO Group, Christofle appeared on The Knot and The Nest, aligning with moments of love, commitment, and new beginnings—reframing the brand as a modern symbol of taste and celebration.

Affluent consumers aren’t driven by discounts. They’re driven by discovery, exclusivity, and convenience. Every message honored that truth. And though the pilot budget was modest, engagement and traffic exceeded expectations, validating that a new generation of luxury seekers is ready to rediscover Christofle—and setting the stage for its next century of growth.
