The Closer

Creative idea

Using cultural data from around the world, we found that pervasive work apps make people work 7.6 hours of unpaid overtime a week globally. And 7 out of 10 people say they answer work messages after hours. So as part of the launch and on-going promotion of The Closer (a bottle opener that closes your work apps when you open a beer), we went to some of the most overworked cities in the world like NYC, Sydney, and Toronto to turn people working late into ads about not working late.
