Coffee with Headline News

June 14th, 2012

Since fresh news goes well with fresh coffee, Y&Q Dubai adapted the coffee cup sleeve of Tim Hortons, a global coffee chain, into an advertising medium and created The ‘Headline News’ Cup Sleeve. Every cup. Every hour. Every day. When Tim Hortons customers received a cup of coffee, they also received the headline news of the hour, printed using a special printer that pulled out tweets from the Gulf News Twitter account. The short URL and QR code on the sleeve then directed them to the Gulf News website where they could read the full story.

    This idea is so amazingly brilliant. Makes me not only feel like visiting one of these coffee cafes but maybe own a franchise in New York.

    Good thinking Tim Hortons
