The objective

Turn everyday drinking into a joyful, connected moment. Each bottle became a prompt for laughter, linking humour to direct WhatsApp engagement so a casual drink became a shareable experience with measurable fan interaction.

What we did

QR code on every bottle

Urban bottles carried a QR code that opened a WhatsApp chat with the brand, delivering a short, shareable joke of the day.

Rewards & interactive content

Fans unlocked meme stickers and quick challenges, and could submit their own jokes for future bottles.

Co-created humour

As participation grew, the chat became a space where the brand and fans created humour together.
