The world is opening up again…

Groupon’s small business partners around the world were starting to reopen following lockdown, but struggling with uneven demand:

Customers were torn: 67% of surveyed customers were excited to return. 33% remained cautious about returning to all their favorite activities.

Groupon needed a campaign to bridge the gap—reassuring the hesitant while energizing the eager—while putting all the shine on small businesses who needed it most.
