Description

E-POINTS is an innovative collection of e-books, where books are classified by their reading-length time; anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes. In France nobody knew this brand. That’s why we created #ThanksForBeingLate.

An innovative way to make people discover the E-POINTS short e-books collection.

We allowed every late person to apologize and make their friends wait by tweeting an ebook. But not just any e-book, one with a reading length of the exact amount of time your friend will be waiting. A typical PR campaign made to go viral on the social networks.
