Chapter One | Just an EDM

Good work gets noticed.

Back in 2024, Uber Australia had plenty of emails, but not enough Uber magic. We redesigned Uber Eats EDMs with stronger storytelling, sharper design and more craft, turning CRM into brand communication worth stopping for.

It worked.

Word travelled. Other Uber teams started asking us to help.
The EDM had done its job. It got Uber more from one of its most frequent customer touchpoints.

Chapter Two | Expansion

The briefs got bigger because the partnership did.

One team became several. One channel became many.

What started with Uber Eats CRM expanded across Uber, Uber Direct and Uber One. We grew from just CRM and in-app, to social, DOOH, OOH and physical experiences.

From emails to experiences, each brief became another opportunity to get more from the work.

Because not just the big stuff needs craft.

Chapter Three | First stop: New Zealand

The partnership crossed borders.

The way we worked together in Australia had become something Uber could take to other markets: a shared rhythm, a shared understanding of the brand and the ability to move quickly without compromising craft.

Different briefs, same ambition: help Uber get more from its partnerships, channels and customer moments.

New Zealand proved the partnership could travel.

Chapter Four | Next stop: Japan

Scale doesn't have to mean sameness.

With New Zealand behind us, the partnership had evolved into a way of working that could travel while still leaving room to make the work genuinely local.

We weren't simply adapting Uber's global thinking for Japan.

We were helping it work harder in the market.

Australia led to New Zealand. New Zealand led to Japan.
Then the partnership kept expanding.

Different markets. Different audiences. Different challenges.

But the opportunity was always the same: help Uber show up in a way that was relevant to the people, place and moment.

What started with one brief became a partnership built to do more.

One email became more work. More work became bigger briefs. Bigger briefs became more markets.

Underneath it all was partnership: understanding the brand, moving at Uber's pace and bringing the right level of craft to every brief.

From global campaigns and localised messages to EDMs and physical experiences, we kept finding more ways to connect, create and make the work work harder.

And the best is yet to come.

Turns out, good work travels pretty well.
