the interstitial mobile ad informed users that they did not have to delete important emails to free storage space.
the campaign challenged users to tap on the notification bubbles on the screen within 10 seconds to gain more storage. the messaging in the bubbles were notifications they would typically receive when their mailbox storage is full. bursting these bubbles helped users gain more gigabytes of storage.
the closing screen featured the CTA ‘Download Now’ that directed them to the phone’s app store where they could proceed to download the app.
