"We anticipate this will both underline that Uber One’s ‘savings don’t disappoint’ and be a precursor to more mullets appearing."
Not having a mullet when mullets are back is disappointing, especially when yours was world famous.
That’s the situation former tennis superstar and the sports’ original mullet man Andre Agassi finds himself in as he laments his hair loss but rings up the savings in a new campaign for Uber One via Special.
As Agassi mulls his misfortune in a stadium packed with magnificent mullet-wearing fans, players, officials, cameramen, TV commentators - and even a dog - he gets a notification letting him know just how much he’s saved with Uber One.
While Uber One membership mightn’t bring back long gone luscious locks, it can unlock savings on Uber and Uber Eats.
Uber ANZ's head of marketing, David Griffiths, said the company has fused its self-deprecating tone with one of the most lauded tennis identities globally to show that while there are disappointing moments in life, the membership platform Uber One isn’t one of them.
"Working in collaboration with an internationally celebrated figure like Andre Agassi enables us to embed that message in an unforgettably compelling way," he says.
"We anticipate this campaign will both underline that Uber One’s ‘savings don’t disappoint’ and be a precursor to more mullets appearing in sports clubs and workplaces in 2024. We make no apologies for either.”
To celebrate the launch of the new campaign, Uber One members will have the chance to get free electric vehicle rides to the Melbourne tennis precinct for the next two weeks in partnership with Kia.
The campaign will run across TV, BVOD, online video, OOH, radio, social and owned channels.
