Uber Carshare suspends a giant disco ball car over Sydney Harbour in new stunt via Herd MSL

Uber Carshare (formerly Car Next Door) has suspended a glittering disco car at Campbell’s Cove, nestled between the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House via Herd MSL.

 

Taking place on the eve of Summer, the stunt celebrates the arrival of the new season and aims to get Aussies back on the road to adventure. It coincides with the announcement that Uber Carshare is generously offering $1 million in rides to new users to try the platform for themselves.

Says Kacy Ratta, head of marketing, Uber Carshare: “We wanted a high impact stunt to celebrate the launch of Uber’s latest addition down under – Uber Carshare, an affordable car sharing option that lets people borrow a car that’s right for the trip or job at hand. The creation of our disco car suspended in the most iconic location in Australia celebrates the start of Summer and aims to inspire Aussies to get back on the road to adventure. We want everyone to join the carshare party, which is why we’re kicking off our introduction to Australia by giving away $1 million worth of trips this weekend.”

Says Skye Lambley, CEO, Herd MSL: “We aim to drive fearlessly creative work for Uber Carshare so suspending a mirror-balled disco car over one of Sydney’s most iconic locations has been a highlight. It’s a fun and celebratory stunt designed to capture the attention of Australians and encourage them to get on the road with Uber Carshare this Summer.”

New research from Uber Carshare reveals that 59% of car owners are driving less as costs of living continue to rise. Uber Carshare gives Aussies convenient access to cars for borrowers to rent by the hour or day, while generating revenue for car owners – making it easy to turn any car into a shared car.
