The challenge
DHL wanted to stretch its reputation as a delivery leader beyond parcels.
The idea
People booked a personal message for a time and date of their choice, and DHL delivered it over the radio. The recipient got an SMS with the station and slot, styled like a DHL parcel notification. Horizon FCB Dubai created it, with audio by Vox Haus; it went live on 12 April 2023.
