How we put more people in fewer cars

We have all been there. Stuck in traffic, desperately looking for parking, frustrated and angry for wasting time. The congestion is particularly evident in Asia's largest cities. Here, Uber Asia could make a difference by putting more people in fewer cars.

To draw attention to the congestion challenge and present the idea of ride-sharing, we wanted to start a conversation about the absurdity of traffic. And – by doing so – boost the somewhat tarnished brand that Uber had in 2017 (due to political statements from the founder and the fear of competition from big taxi corporations around the world).

Photos from behind the scenes. And yes, we used real cardboard boxes. A lot of them.

The campaign increased brand awareness in Southeast Asia by 46%.
