Uber One is Uber’s new membership program that brings together the best of Uber and Uber Eats, including discounts and exclusive experiences such as $0 Delivery Fee, 5% off rides, premium support, and top-rated drivers. Uber One will sponsor The 90th Minute’s soccer content from October 2022 until December 2022 to provide audiences a relevant property to interact with during the World Cup and beyond. Media buying for the Uber One and The 90th Minute campaign has been spearheaded by Mediacom, Uber One’s agency of record, and will include segment and title integrations that highlight how Uber One’s services can enhance every sports fan’s gameday plans.
The 90th Minute is led by Chief Content Officer, Caroline Salame (Szwed), a former member of Canada Soccer’s Women’s National team and former contributor for Toronto FC and Rogers Sportsnet. Mrs. Szwed is a voice of authority in the world of soccer, and in addition to talent-read advertising segments, she will leverage The 90th Minute platform and its omni-channel audiences to drive meaningful value for Uber One.
