Divorce Lawyer Approved Mattresses

SUMMARY
Eyri was a challenger brand on an over-heated mattress market. In a category focused on "-er" (softer, cheaper, springier), we went with a wildcard approach. What's the first thing you buy when you leave your partner? A new mattress. So we got New York’s top divorce lawyers to endorse our mattress. And took out billboards across New York’s busiest divorce courthouse.

CONTEXT
Since mattresses are not replaced as frequently as most other products, Eyri Iceland tapped into other possible reasons one may need to swap out their old mattress for a new one. The company discovered that in an age of swipe left and swipe right relationships, divorce is pretty real amongst their demographic. The bedroom and in fact the bed is the battleground for this new reality in relationships and when they end and someone moves out, a new mattress tends to be one of the first things to sort when starting a new life. Tapping into this sweet spot, Eyri Iceland positioned itself as the ones who will provide support during these difficult times. Firm, orthopedic support to be exact.

INSIGHT
After a messy breakup, a good mattress is the second most important thing to have upon securing a top-notch lawyer.

EXECUTION
#ForTheRestOfYourLife social campaign, an AI argue-bot to simulate pointless conversations with your ex, OOH, a presence on Tinder for the recently single and a running promo offering 50% off mattresses because if you’re going to give up half then so should EYRI.

RESULTS
This campaign aimed to not only make the audience laugh but also trigger their interest to check out the Eyri online store. It helped to keep Eyri Iceland top of mind during the consideration phase of buying a mattress.

Mattress blogging is a world of its own and is largely dominated by better known brands such as Casper or Endy. Thanks to this campaign, Eyri Iceland managed to break through and garnered positive reviews from bloggers such as Mattress Junkie, TopDown Reviews, The Sleep Sherpa, and MDMC Style.

The campaign itself was highlighted in publications such as AdLand, Stylus, The Drum, and Stimulant Online.
