The Check Out Suite

Situation

Länsförsäkringar is working preventively with social sustainability to create a better climate on the Internet for young people and families. Here we wanted to raise the issue of screen addiction and help people find a better balance in their digital life.

Solution

The price is calculated with the help of the smart lamp Skärmfri™️ that through its WiFi knows how much time you spend online. The light of the lamp shifts gradually and the price of the hotel room increases accordingly. After recommended recreational screen time of 30 minutes per person the lamp switches to red and you have reached full price for The Check Out Suite. If you don’t spend any time at all on social media the room is free of charge.

The initiative is a collaboration between Länsförsäkringar Göteborg och Bohuslän and Hotel Bellora.

Strategy

With the help of strong news value and availability (a bookable hotel stay), the initiative takes locks into one of the most debated subjects right now – screen time. The purpose is to engage families and get earned media attention on the subject of digital health, and in turn get increased awareness and traffic to skärmhjälpen.se and the campaign site skärmhjälpen.se/checkoutsuite.

Result

A viral success! The news spread like wildfire across the world.
