Launching UberBoat in Turkey

APCO Worldwide
In June 2015 Uber launched a boat service in Istanbul spanning the Bosphorus - the waterway connecting Europe and Asia. APCO’s Istanbul office designed and implemented an integrated media relations campaign around the launch. The client’s expectations were exceeded; the campaign achieved not only widespread positive national coverage, but also international coverage in leading publications.
