How Careem Acquired & Activated 1,352,000 users from this 30 second video
About this talk
Careem is a ride-hailing start-up operating in the Middle East. I was their first Marketing Guy with an impossible task: put the brand on the radar and beat Uber at its own game with a tiny marketing budget.
Recently, Careem was bought out by Uber for 3.1B$. It became the first Tech Unicorn of the region.
How did we do this? Back then, we couldn't compete with Uber on Ads Spend. So, we launched this 30-second UNBRANDED shaky video about a failed human slingshot.
That's how we activated 1,352,000 users in 13 days.
