Riding Friendly with Lyft

Good brand steal riders from big, bad brand.
Lyft needed a creative accomplice to convince folks there was a better way to get around. I worked at Made, their Boulder-based agency of record, and we helped make it happen.

Corporate espionage, only funny.
My partner Charlie Fingal & I created this campaign to stick a finger in the eye of Lyft’s biggest, skeeviest, and most corporate espionage-iest competitor.

During creative development, we took extensive notes on dozens of dystopian classics and spy movies, including  12 Monkeys, Mr. Robot, Brazil, the Bourne Trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. We also co-wrote nearly 200 scripts (no joke) to ensure we arrived on set with ample material.

To be frank, I’ve never had so much fun at work, and I dream of doing more of this kind of stuff.

The last mile.
After years of Uber’s antisocial antics, Lyft wanted us all to believe ridesharing and transit can be friends.

We inserted that notion into the mainstream with this OOH campaign, showing how Lyft syncs perfectly with existing infrastructure.
