Uber Advertising: Introducing Uber Marketing Manager, Creative Studio Expansion, and New Strategic Partnerships
Summary
Uber Advertising is introducing Uber Marketing Manager as a self-serve platform intended to unify advertising across Uber and Uber Eats, building on Ads Manager for restaurants. It also outlines Creative Studio expansion, new APIs, and a Mastercard Commerce Media partnership designed to connect campaign activation, offers, measurement, and real-world experiences across consumer journeys. Examples include Krispy Kreme’s Destination Offers campaign in Mexico, Molson Coors’s multi-format soccer campaign, and adidas’s pan-European Journey Takeover.
