Milind Soman isn’t alone in his love for running. To provide a break from routine, Uber India and Dentsu Creative India launched #RoutineSeRescue campaign, showing how people can escape with Uber Intercity.
The campaign showcases a film with Milind Soman running and sharing how Indians enjoy running. It features relatable scenes of people escaping problems by using Uber Intercity.
Speaking about the campaign, Ameya Velankar, Head of Marketing, Uber India South Asia said, “While India loves to hustle, sometimes we get lost in the monotony of our routines. When breaking free seems difficult, all you need is to be rescued for a while before you go back to hustling once again. And that’s what this campaign is all about. We want to rescue people from their daily routines with Uber Intercity. Whether you’re an impromptu travel geek or a meticulous planner, Intercity’s round trips offer you the chance to book a ride to over 2000+ destinations for up to 90 days in advance. We decided to collaborate with Milind Soman – because who knows more about running away than India’s favourite enthusiast? But even he needs a break, and that’s why he ended up running away from running, as part of our #RoutineSeRescue narrative.”
Sharing the insight on the campaign, Hazel Dalby, Creative Director and Rohit Ranjan, Senior Group Head, Dentsu Creative India added, “Everybody is running away from something. Just like we were, from this brief! Jokes apart, we realised the need to escape from daily life (once in a while) and nothing rescues you more than a road trip with the people you love. Thus, the idea of #RoutineSeRescue was born. Staying true to our insight of people running away, we chose Milind Soman as the face of our campaign who helped us bring the idea alive in a way no one else could have!”
The campaign extends beyond the film, sparking social media buzz through popular memes, hashtags, and influencer collaborations. Brands are joining the #RoutineSeRescue trend with engaging posts.
