OVERVIEW

Execution

We created Priceless Surprises, a whole new kind of reward program that's less predictable and more fun. We passed out big surprises like Justin Timberlake ringing the doorbell of an unsuspecting fan and Pharrell walking into a kindergarten teacher's class. Plus, thousands of smaller ones like free cupcakes on JT's birthday and 1-on-1 lunches with venture capitalists for South by Southwest attendees. We invited people on social media to share surprises they'd given - and the ones they wanted most.

Outcome

In less than 4 months, 500,000 people have used the Priceless Surprises hashtag. 43,000 surprises have been passed out around the world. Businesses from Uber to Magnolia bakery have joined in. The program is gaining momentum around the world.
