The whole motive to build the chatbot was to make women aware of their right cup size, because 80% of female do not know their cup size! In a country where a female would know what type of coffee she prefers and also knows the lipstick shade that would suit her skin tone, still finds it taboo to ask or even discuss her right cup size.
To remove that awkwardness of asking a human we developed The Right Cup Chatbot so that they could help themselves and buy the right cup size bra to avoid major hazards that could be caused to females physically if they ignore and continue wearing the wrong cup size bra.
The campaign created a buzz. The campaign reached around 29,134 people & got 2,260 reactions, comments & shares. The chatbot got around 208 conversations. This campaign created a great number of awareness as well as engagement.
