When it\u2019s done right, the stakes are clear, the audience can\u2019t help but root for the characters to get together, and lots of moments\u2014big and small, good and bad\u2014help show a couple\u2019s life together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">That\u2019s why Uber used a love story to lead a new campaign targeting suburban riders, Georgie Jeffreys, head of marketing at Uber, North America, told Marketing Brew. The hero spot for the campaign, called \u201cIn Good Time\u201d and created by Mother New York, uses snippets of a couple\u2019s story over the course of a little over two minutes to show all the different ways suburban riders might use the rideshare company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">\u201cBecause this campaign centers on the everyday moments that matter, a love story felt like a natural way to show how Uber fits into all parts of life,\u201d Jeffreys wrote in an email.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In Good Time | Uber\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CafQC20v8Kw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">Uber is one of a number of brands like Audible, Neutrogena, and Vera Bradley leaning into romance in marketing. As Marketing Brew has previously reported, brand marketers recognize that some people want a distraction from doom and gloom, with stories of romance serving as a cheat code to making someone feel something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">Throughout the campaign, called \u201cThere Are Drivers In Your Area,\u201d Uber uses the tick of a countdown clock\u2014how far away the Uber driver is from the characters\u2014as a storytelling device. That device works twofold in the hero love-story spot by also educating consumers about the speed they can usually get rides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">\u201cIt raised the stakes of it, and it gave \u2018In Good Time,\u2019 specifically, it gave it this really beautiful device,\u201d Oriel Davis-Lyons, chief creative officer at Mother New York, said. \u201cBut it also has a really practical reason in that one of the biggest barriers for people in the suburbs is that they don\u2019t know if there are Ubers actually available\u2026Most people in the suburbs are no more than seven minutes away from an Uber. That\u2019s something very practical and real that we had to kind of tell people.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"style__InlineSubscribeWrapper-sc-9b30af34-1 xBGLJ inline-subscribe\">\n<div id=\"inline-subscribe\" class=\"style__RoundedContainer-sc-bac6188c-0 jnRTsW\">\n<h5 class=\"inline-subscribe\">Get marketing news you&#8217;ll actually want to read<\/h5>\n<p class=\"inline-subscribe\">Marketing Brew informs marketing pros of the latest on brand strategy, social media, and ad tech via our weekday newsletter, virtual events, marketing conferences, and digital guides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">Aside from the love story of \u201cIn Good Time,\u201d the campaign is designed to show off Uber\u2019s versatility to non-city dwellers. Other scenarios depicted throughout the ad campaign, including a ride to the airport or needing a larger vehicle to transport recently purchased furniture, are aimed at speaking to suburbanites; those messages will be supported through social, out-of-home, digital, and audio placements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">\u201cPeople in the suburbs think about the brand a little differently,\u201d Davis-Lyons said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re out in the suburbs and you [have] maybe one or two cars. So really it was about, how do you remind people in the suburbs of those use cases?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">Some of those ad placements use creative contextual to specific locations or contain messaging that changes depending on how close an Uber may be or what the average wait time for an Uber is in that area, Davis-Lyons noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">Going forward, Uber will continue to lean into the idea of available drivers through stories that show how people can use the company\u2019s services throughout their lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-1ef9199a-8 zNSXu\">\u201cWe wrote hundreds of stories, hundreds of scripts,\u201d Davis-Lyons said. \u201cThere\u2019s a depth and a richness to it that feels like we\u2019re just kind of scratching the surface.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingbrew.com\/stories\/2025\/10\/15\/could-you-fall-in-love-before-your-uber-driver-arrived?utm_source=&#038;utm_medium=syndication&#038;utm_campaign=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A love story is timeless.
