Uber Eats #BringIt Retail Uber Eats United Kingdom
The Brief
The brief was simple: differentiate Uber Eats from other fast food retailers and increase brand love and engagement on social to maintain top-of-mind awareness during a time when more people than ever were at home ordering food.
OUR INSIGHT
Since lockdown began, streaming on Twitch saw a rapid surge in growth. Millions flocked to Twitch with viewership up 54.1% in 2020 (Twitch). The fast food delivery market had also got competitive.
Uber Eats used this insight to successfully talk to a hyper-engaged audience when the world was feeling particularly isolated.
Uber Eats wanted to tap into the native behaviours of the Twitch community, putting the brand right at the heart of it. Many brands have tried and failed at engaging this audience, so we needed to understand the platform, its users and their culture to successfully #BringIt.
The IDEA
Our dream was to take over the live streaming platform Twitch on launch day to deliver food and followers to unsuspecting streamers. We had to be best in class on the platform, using the hottest gamers, the latest audience behaviours and the many USP’s in the platform’s functionality to gain that competitive advantage.
Our influencers hosted two 120 minute streams on their channels and used Twitch’s unique Raids feature; giving each small streamer thousands of followers, an Uber Eats voucher code to redeem and recognition from their heroes.
We took over Twitch’s homepage with a Uber Eats ad takeover that drove viewers to the streams, created custom Emotes to accompany the campaign and drive further engagement. We also made use of Twitch’s unique highlights functionality to drive repeat views of the campaigns best bits. The campaign featured on Manny and Miniminter’s other social channels to drive further reach.
