On Valentine’s Day, French telco Bouygues Telecom and ad agency BETC present: the mini-charger
Smartphones have radically changed the way we live our relationships, making our exchanges simpler, freer and richer… But they have also penetrated almost all situations of our social lives, even inviting themselves in the most intimate of all : our bedrooms. Thus limiting the time we spend and the conversations we have with our most significant others.
According to a recent study conducted for Bouygues Telecom: 1 out of 2 couples can’t let go of their phones, even at night. And this figure goes up to 66% among 18-44 year-olds.
This is why Bouygues Telecom is innovating and launching the very first mini-charger. A charger with a ground-breaking design: a cable-length reduced to 3,2 centimeters only. Once your smartphone is plugged to the mini-charger… it becomes virtually impossible to use in bed!
In this campaign, the French comedy duo Laura Felpin and Cédric Salaun takes part in a quirky and hilarious demonstration of how this revolutionary technology has helped rekindle the flame of their relationship. A way to gently entice people to think twice about their own behaviour… and maybe make them want to put their phones aside from time to time… even without the help of a mini-charger.
