UBER

When it's time to go.

A spec campaign built around the things people say when a good night has gone on a little too long. From bar receipts and coasters to an AI-powered last-call hotline, Uber helps turn the moment into a way home. Spec work. Visuals AI-assisted.

An itemized bar receipt from the Tipsy Oak: two Old Fashioneds, fries, four OK one more, I'm not even tired, we should start a business, I love you guys. Total: time to go. Close your tab. Open your app. Signed off with the Uber logo.

The insight

The insight

Everyone knows the night is over before they admit it. You can hear it.

The idea

The things you say before it's time to go.

On-premise: the coasters

A coaster series built from the lines everyone has heard at last call. Each one ends the same way.

Coaster: Should I text my ex? Just to say hi. Time to go. Uber.
The ex.
Coaster: Let's all quit our jobs and buy a boat. Time to go. Uber.
The boat.
Coaster: I could definitely be a DJ. Time to go. Uber.
The DJ.
Coaster: I'm basically a sommelier. Time to go. Uber.
The sommelier.

Experiential: The Last Call Department

An old payphone appears in neighborhood bars, offering a second opinion on those brilliant ideas that only seem brilliant after midnight. Pick up the receiver and a deadpan AI operator answers. Every conversation is different. Every case has one thing in common: knowing when it's time to go.

A vintage payphone on a dark wood bar wall under a brass plaque: The Last Call Department. For great ideas after midnight. Pick up. Share your brilliant idea. We'll decide if it's time to go. Uber.
The installation.
The Last Call Department payphone: chrome keypad, black receiver and a plate reading For great ideas after midnight. Pick up. Share your brilliant idea. We'll decide if it's time to go. Pick up the phone. Uber.
Pick up the phone. Tap the glowing key.

Out-of-home: on the way out

The last word, placed between the bar door and the curb.

A lit sidewalk sign on a rainy nightlife street as a couple walks past, one checking her phone: Last call is a suggestion. Closing time isn't. When it's time to go. Uber.

A proposed schedule: one digital board, four headlines through the night. Example times. Pick one.

The morning after

Proposed extension Some brilliant ideas sound different in daylight. Callers who opt in could hear their late-night pitch again the next morning. The Last Call Department keeps the receipts.

Morning light on a nightstand: a glass of water, keys and a phone on the lock screen showing an Uber notification: Your brilliant idea from last night is ready for review.
The next morning.

Some ideas need a headline. Others need a patent.
