Uber Eats delivers expletive-filled campaign with Special and EssenceMediacom

Uber Eats’ latest campaign taps into Australians’ and New Zealanders’ penchant for swearing.

Developed with Special and EssenceMediacom, and designed to build on the brand’s “Get Almost, Almost Anything” platform, “Ding Dong Deals” uses the food delivery brand’s signature doorbell chime as a censor to block out the expletives the campaign’s characters drop when they see the deals on the Uber Eats app.

The most recent offering focuses on a shopping centre Santa Claus who swears after seeing a $10 sandwich deal.
