The Campaign

People enjoy examining their wine bottle labels - grape variety, vintage year and other details do not go unnoticed. Our idea - produce a special wine in collaboration with Jean-Jacques wine bar chain. Terrible car crashes scenes are artistically blended into the beautiful vineyard landscapes. The printed text tells us not what grape variety we are looking at, but about danger of drinking and driving. Back label offers an alternative - free Uber ride.

Creative Execution

We introduced our promo to the Jean-Jacques wine bar chain. To this end, we took the already popular and beloved by many private label wine made by Jean-Jacques. And now we just had to issue a new run of wine bottle labels - we came up with a series of three different landscapes. A batch of one thousand bottles was selling in all eight Jean-Jacques restaurants throughout Moscow. We didn't talk in advance about our idea and guests learned about promo only when they read the text printed on the bottle of wine they just have ordered.

Results

Bottom line - thanks to the waiters who knew exactly how many bottles of wine had been ordered, hundreds of drivers did not get behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol. Uber was able to track the exact number of codes used in this promo - 92 percent. Thanks to unconventional media, there were mass media articles and social media discussions of the campaign. Uber helps to make roads safer in Russia, and has proven itself as a socially responsible brand. And, the company won many new customers without spending a penny on media budget.

Sometimes, in a bar or a restaurant, a motorist spontaneously makes a decision to have a drink and then gets behind a wheel. It's important that we address these people and at the right moment - just before they get behind the wheel. We didn't talk about our idea in advance and guests learned about promo only when they ordered their wine.

Uber has this whole Don't Drink and Drive platform - the brand is always there for you when it comes to safety. The target audience are motorists who could potentially drive under the influence of alcohol. Such "drink and drive" decision comes to people spontaneously and often with a glass of wine in their hands. And it's exactly then, in that particular moment, when this person has to be driven towards the right decision - on one hand, we demonstrate, what could happen when you drink and drive, and, on the other hand, we suggest this simple and convenient alternative - a free Uber ride.
