Grab Philippines, the region’s leading online food delivery platform, has teamed up with ad agency GIGIL Philippines to introduce their latest subscription plan. The country got to know GrabUnlimited and its promise of free delivery every day on GrabFood through the most unlikely of films.
The first film, called “Office,” opens with heated office drama between two colleagues over something quite trivial: a red ballpen. The conversation becomes more and more heated until someone referred to as “boss” steps in to diffuse the situation by reminding both parties of their friendship. It was definitely a touching moment…until the viewer realizes that “boss” is the office’s favorite Grab rider.
The familiarity of the Grab rider with his customers’ lives is also seen in the second film called “Albularyo.” This time, we see an albularyo (folk healer) who was called in to figure out what caused the growth of a finger on a child’s forehead. Mistaking the Grab rider for the child’s father, the albularyo is mildly confused to see the rider hand the real father his GrabFood delivery—to the amusement of everyone watching the film.
Both films underline the idea of how frequent food deliveries brought by GrabUnlimited’s free delivery every day bring a different kind of closeness (the kind that leads us to think that the Grab rider is a relative or a fellow employee) between the Grab rider and his customers. Many viewers found the concept compelling as GrabUnlimited subscriptions shot up by more than 200% since the launch of the campaign.
