CHEERS & UBER 'SOBER SELF' CHAT BOT
A partnership between the alcohol industry safe drinking initiative Cheers! and Uber, the brief was to create a digitally led campaign that encouraged responsible drinking and getting home safely with Uber.
The Sober Self chat bot allowed users to write their own personalised message to be sent to themselves at a time of their choosing. The message would encourage them to take it easy when drinking, eat some food & drink water.
Additional incentive to get home before they drank too much came in the form of an Uber discount of 25%, which was timed to disappear after an hour.
The bot had over 10,000 unique connections during the two weeks it was in operation and picked up several awards.
