Info

Facing declining foot traffic at a struggling store, Lidl wanted to attract customers without relying on the usual, uninspired coupon drops. They needed a creative hook.

So, we turned standard retail promotions into a page-turner. We wrote a short story about two people who met in the aisles of Lidl, cleverly weaving discounts into the narrative through wordplay, puns, and homonyms.

By giving mundane coupons Lidl's tongue-in-cheek tone of voice, we turned a boring medium into something people actually read cover to cover.
