Ryde makes pocket-sized, functional products that are positioned as "Wellbeing in One Shot," and each of its three compact creations offers a different benefit based on a desired state.
To support its Canadian debut in Toronto, Ryde partnered with Wavemaker, TAXI and 10 Star on an experiential activation at Union Station, a busy downtown hub for commuters. For a few days, the brand offered three "sound showers," each of which immersed passersby in a mood-matching audio experience to match the essence of its wellness shots for energy, focus or relaxation.
While Ryde Energize is invigorating with a natural tropical flavor, Ryde Focus supports mental clarity with a natural orange flavor and Relax rounds out the trio with a soothing natural raspberry flavor. The brand's Discovery Pack samples all three.
