The collaboration is aimed at creating awareness amongst Indian travellers to explore Western Australia as their next holiday destination. The campaign that is currently live across Swiggy and Instamart, blends Swiggy’s hallmark of speed and instant convenience with the relaxed, joyful travel experiences that Western Australia is known for.

At the heart of the campaign is the Quokka, affectionately known as “the world’s happiest animal” who playfully takes stage in the Swiggy customer experience as the happiness mascot. From appearing on post-order tracking maps in place of delivery executives to featuring on banner ads across the Swiggy and Instamart apps, the Quokka encourages users to pause from their daily routines and imagine the joy of a holiday in Western Australia.

With this campaign, Indian consumers get a taste of that joy, bringing Western Australia’s most loved ambassador into their everyday Swiggy experience. 

To further enhance user engagement, Swiggy has introduced a “Find the Quokka” challenge that encourages its users to explore a digital travel map of Western Australia. This is an exciting customised and gamified journey that invites users to locate 5 Quokka icons hidden amongst the key travel landscapes of Western Australia. One lucky participant, selected via a lucky draw, will win return tickets for two to Western Australia, sponsored by Tourism Western Australia.
