Thanks to the Artificial Intelligence software, she answered all questions correctly with 90% success rate, as if tea was the cause. Website had 4,3 million visitors within 12 weeks. The woman became an internet celebrity.We then exploited her popularity on packaging to announce the mobile promotion. We invited people to text-and-win promotion via MMS. Each participant received an IVR call where the woman claimed she could spot their location “with her clear mind”. Thanks to location-query-service, she spotted the correct address 97% of the time.
