The Campaign

We gamified good driving with Don’t Drop the Reward; a mobile app that rewards drivers with cups of coffee for good driving. The less jerky the ride; the more virtual coffee stayed in the cup. The more coffee in the cup; the more free coffee the driver received. A little caffeine, a little less fatigue. And best of all, passengers began to receive smoother, safer rides. But this isn’t just about some free coffee, it’s about free advertising for the best drivers. Because the less coffee spilled, the greater the driver’s rating. Potential passengers can view the coffee reviews and choose the best driver. Less frustration, less fatigue, less impatience makes for better driving.
