U Up?

The idea

Between 10pm and 5am, selected users received the classic two-word message. Those who replied were pitched better sleep instead of a hookup, with mattress offers, while billboards echoed the line.

Results

  • Around 500 DMs sent, generating about 2,500 interactions
  • Shared thousands of times, with replies from other brands
