Winter rewards through play

During the holidays, every brand is present. Campaigns compete for visibility, offers stack up, and attention becomes harder to hold.

The question was how to stand out in a moment that is already saturated. And more importantly, how to connect that visibility to actual orders.

It wasn’t about adding another campaign layer. It was about making the ordering moment itself more valuable.

Winter Winners turns the moment after ordering into something playful and immediate. As soon as an order is placed, users are invited into a short interaction where they unwrap a digital gift and instantly see what they receive. There is no build-up or complexity. The value sits in the timing. The experience meets users exactly when anticipation is already there, and adds a small, rewarding layer to that moment.

The experience is fully embedded within the app, triggered directly after checkout. There are no redirects or additional steps, and nothing interrupts the existing flow. Everything is designed to be clear and immediate. A single interaction, quick feedback, and a result that is easy to understand. The system supports repeated use without requiring explanation, making it accessible across a broad audience.

To support scale, the campaign was rolled out across the UK with a large and varied reward pool. Communication remained consistent across channels, reinforcing the same idea wherever users encountered it. Relevance was increased through a postcode-based system, connecting users to rewards that felt closer to their own context. This added a layer of recognition without changing the simplicity of the experience.

The same mechanic was extended to restaurant partners. Through direct communication, they could access their own version of the experience, creating a shared moment across both sides of the platform.

The interaction became a natural extension of the ordering flow during the busiest time of the year.

Users returned more frequently, not just during the holidays but in the weeks that followed. Engagement increased across both consumers and partners, supported by an experience that was easy to access and repeat. Ordering was no longer a single action, but part of a sequence that people recognized and came back to.
