During Rio's water-supply crisis, Koni and Spoleto dropped bottled water to R$ 1.50. A real-time action, covered by Veja and Diário do Rio.

Context

React fast to a water-supply crisis that hit Rio de Janeiro, turning an operational problem (the rising cost of water) into an act of closeness with customers.

Idea

Headline
We can’t solve the crisis, but we can face it.

Execution

A simultaneous action on Koni’s and Spoleto’s social channels, created and published in real time: bottled water for R$ 1.50 for the duration of the crisis, at the stores in the most affected areas (Rio de Janeiro, Duque de Caxias and Nova Iguaçu, plus Itaguaí and São João de Meriti for Spoleto).

The two brands' posts

Results
