Ask: Get existing Duolingo users back on the app 
Approach: Take Duo the bird off the app

D&AD New Blood Awards Yellow Pencil Winner 2022

After becoming the most bullied mascot on the internet due to relentless nagging to complete daily lessons, Duo decides he has had enough. With one final Duolingo notification, Duo resigns. 
A disgruntled Duo proceeds to deface all current Duolingo ads.
Meanwhile, back at Duolingo headquarters, the team needs a replacement to send out the daily reminders. Enter Brad. The intern who is far more annoying than Duo. 
While Brad takes the stage as new annoying notifier, we’ll share what’s happening back at Duolingo HQ via TikTok

In the absence of Duo, and the ensuing chaos of Brad’s notifications, the intenet will campaign for Duo’s return, and Duo will decide to come back.

Some people might say that 5-Hour Energy isn’t good for you. Well, sometimes the consequences of being tired can be worse.

Partnership: AllState
When you drive tired, you stop paying attention to the road and end up driving off of it and crashing into bushes. Sometimes those bushes have families of birds who live in them. And as you step out of your vehicle to assess the damage, the birds have to go find a new home. And sometimes that bush has a big rock in the middle of it that crunches your bumper into an accordion. And then Allstate has to clean up your mess.

That’s why Allstate is offering $12 off monthly car insurance premiums to anyone who buys a 12 pack of 5-hour energy.
