Godrej aer social media activity #BreakTheSmokeBreak
Problem:
On World No Tobacco Day, everyone floods social media with advice on how people should quit smoking. But Godrej aer decided to do something more disruptive and effective.
​
Solution:
It identified that the right time for a smoking intervention is when the person takes the smoke break. So, as an initiative linked to its musk.after.smoke fragrance, Godrej aer
decided to #BreakTheSmokeBreak and surprise smokers with fake "urgent" phone calls (like, "Your mom is at reception. Come back!" and "Free biryani in office. Come quickly.")
​
The campaign began on Facebook and Twitter, with Godrej aer asking users to share
details of friends who smoke, on a microsite. They could then pick an "urgent" message relevant to their friend and click "Call" during the friend's smoke break. After which, a call would be placed immediately, breaking the smoke break.
