Opportunity is all around us but it’s hard to see when our faces are glued to our screens. What if Uber encouraged it’s followers to get out and take it?

We created Instant Opportunities, using social media to inspire folks to stop scrolling and move toward experiences IRL. The idea was to drop free access to unique events in a different city each month using Instagram Stories and deep link to the Uber app via swipe up.

On the water during Austin City Limits

We proved that if you give people the right motivation they will come. It turns out that free tacos and kayaks during Austin City Limits will do the trick. That involved taking over the Rowing Dock next to the fair grounds and giving away free access to kayaks, paddle boards and canoes so that folks could enjoy the music from the water.

Hilma af Klint at the Guggenheim

The Guggenheim was eager to partner with us to drive traffic to the Hilma af Klint show. Only 5% of private art collections in the U.S. have artwork from female artists. It's time to #rethinktheratio.

To broaden our reach we invited influencers from the local art scene to get the word out and start a conversation.

+400% engagements
1,660 poll participants
2.5M impressions

In advance of the activation we teased the story across social in fun interactive ways including this Twitter reveal hack.

We proved that opportunity comes to those who move. 

All content was shot and edited on location—like in a boat house, a sinking tent, and a room deep inside the Guggenheim.
