Brief Explanation

Smartphones have clearly changed our lives in recent years. BASE, Belgium's third biggest mobile provider does not have the media budgets to outspend its bigger competitors. Challenger brand BASE asked for a way to challenge the big budgets of it competitors, by doing something relevant. The Go mobile platform was the start of this new approach. BASE wants to make Belgium more mobile proof and PhoneAddress was the first proof point for the consumer.

Results and Effectiveness

• PhoneAddress was received extremely positive by both Belgian and international press • As the ios version is currently being developed potential partners like bpost, DHL, bol.com… have showed interest

Creative Execution

Here's how it works: °The app finds your location You see yourself as a pin on a map. If you move, the pin simply follows (tracking your location). ° Place an order ° Wait for your order The delivery driver sees the pin on the map marking your location. He’ll let you know how long you can expect to wait for your order. ° Receive your order When the courier gets nearby (within about 100m) your smartphone will display a picture of him. Meanwhile, the driver’s phone will display your picture on his screen. ° Pay for your order

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

BASE launched Phone Address, a mobile solution that turns your phone into an actual address. Making it possible to get things delivered wherever you are. The app eliminates the need to stay at home, waiting for ecommerce and or food deliveries. The opportunity to deliver at very specific places will lead to many interesting possibilities for e-commerce and delivery services. Two interacting apps establish a dynamic connection between delivery services and the consumer. The technology allows that whenever you move, your address moves with you.
