According to the agency, everybody is looking for ways to save in these economic times.
The aim of the campaign is to showcase just how much one can save. The membership, which costs R50 per month or R500 annually, provides users with a wide range of benefits, starting with unlimited R0 delivery and up to 0% service fees on food and groceries from Uber Eats, adds the agency.
"Uber One makes every day effortless. The combined benefits will offer consumers better value across Uber and Uber Eats, and communicating this was key to our brief to Joe Public," says Mel Gischen, head of marketing South Africa at Uber. "The main objective for the campaign was to drive awareness about the membership, its benefits and to get people to consider signing up."
Joe Public Cape Town says that its solution was a campaign that showcases humorous and unexpected scenarios where people are so excited to tell someone the news of having signed up for Uber One, along with the benefits, that they end up doing it at very unusual moments.
"Our concept was based on the insight that when you have something you're really interested in — be it a new diet, a new hobby or a clever life hack — you can't help yourself from telling anybody and everybody who will listen, and even those who won’t," says Brendan Hoffmann, executive creative director at Joe Public Cape Town.
"This gave us a great platform to create very real stories that allowed our characters to literally blurt out all the amazing benefits that we wanted the viewer to hear, to encourage them to sign up," concludes Hoffmann.
The campaign is being rolled out across TV, YouTube and social channels.
