The challenge
Make Bose's noise-cancelling headphones relevant to people struggling to work from loud homes during lockdown.
The idea
A mobile experience measured ambient noise and converted the reading into a discount: the louder the home office, the larger the coupon.
Results
- The award-entry case reports more than 7 million impressions and over 7,000 home-office noise measurements in less than a month, alongside a 37.5% rise in average weekly sales of the promoted product.
