Uber Eats wonders what would happen if you could order anything...plus 6 more campaigns that play on consequences.
A snapshot look at a trending campaign with a curated pick of past campaigns that use a similar creative approach in some way.
The brief for this latest Uber Eats campaign was to develop a culturally resonant brand campaign to demonstrate you can now get so much more than takeaway food on the app. The commercials deliver in spades by leaning into the benefit and asking: what if you actually could order anything on the app? The 40+ creative executions all show the disastrous 'real-life' consequences of being able to do so. This anchors the true brand benefit and thus cleverly reminds Australians that what Uber Eats does offer, is almost certainly enough. Lovely stuff.
