WISH ‘YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE’
Radio campaign

Sometimes you’ll get a gift so great and so thoughtful that the only appropriate response after opening it is “You shouldn’t have”, as it feels almost wrong to have received something so special. But what if the gift you received was actually so awful that when you said “You shouldn’t have”, you really meant “You shouldn’t have”, as receiving nothing might possibly have been better. This simple twist of a well-known phrase is how we encouraged people to use the Wishlist functionality on Wish.com and their app. Eliminating the risk and embarrassment of bad gift giving. Ensuring you always get the gift you actually should have.

We had a laugh recording and crafting these. The voice over artists were really great sports. The German versions coming soon…
