Wunderman Calls On Uber

NEW YORK, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wunderman, one of the largest advertising agencies in the world, is upgrading to Uber for Business as the preferred transportation option for its people in the United States. As the first marketing agency to partner officially with Uber on a national level, Wunderman is ensuring cost-savings and improved service for its people.

"Wunderman required an on-demand service that would be reliable and affordable," said Mark Read, CEO, Wunderman. "Our people deserve the comfort and convenience that Uber offers them."

New York will be the first of Wunderman's 19 offices in the U.S. to ride with Uber.  

"Wunderman is a recognized leader in digital advertising, and we are thrilled they are embracing the benefits of Uber for Business for their employees," said Emil Michael, SVP of Business for Uber. "With Uber as their preferred option, Wunderman employees now have peace of mind knowing that there is a reliable, safe, and affordable ride whenever they need one." 

Uber for Business has no booking fees or vouchers; instead employees can bill directly to the company without creating an expense report. Employees can request a ride that arrives within minutes, whenever and wherever they want in over 300 cities around the world.

"The change is in part a reflection of how our colleagues live, as well as work," added Read. "The Uber for Business offer, the intuitive technology, even the cars themselves, fit with who we are as an agency and the type of work we do for our clients."
