That’s the kind of expansion that is aiding urban mobility and bringing movement to cities all around the world.”
The new Uber advert campaign was also shown exclusively to members of the media. Tagged “Moments that Matter,” the adverts were a mix of television, radio and digital collateral humanizing the real benefits of using Uber around the city in a locally relevant way.
