Uber & Travelstart

Uber & Travelstart

Scope
  • Market-entry brand + product proposition strategy for a mobility pilot. Helped shape and position Uber’s market test in an emerging market context. A partnership & campaign strategy that is still being leveraged by both companies across Africa, most recently Nigeria.

Uber & Travelstart Urban Mobility Pilot

The Challenge
Uber and Travelstart needed a fast, effective way to test a new airport shuttle service — and reach the right travellers at scale. Uber was still relatively unknown in the SA market but Travelstart had a grounded following.

The Solution
In partnership with DYDX, we helped shape the market-entry strategy through a blend of insight-driven messaging and agile execution. Our work focused on aligning Uber and Travelstart’s value proposition, rolling out targeted digital campaigns, and supporting the pilot with a unified, customer-centric narrative.

Our Role

  • Campaign concepting and messaging for the pilot launch
  • Assets creation including emailers, OOH ads, Digital content and radio campaign
  • Channel strategy for scalable deployment across Uber and Travelstart customer bases

The Outcome

  • Increased marketing efficiency through deterministic customer targeting
  • Improved data integration for more informed media investment
  • Stronger user acquisition driven by a fixed-price airport shuttle promotion
  • Unified brand presence across channels for better conversion performance
