what changed

Business Trips brought the small businesses on UPS drivers’ routes into a social campaign.

01

The insight

UPS drivers aren’t just delivery people. They are the small business experts of the United States, meeting businesses across the country every day, and each of them has stories to tell about the businesses they see.

02

The strategy

Tell the stories of the small businesses UPS drivers serve in the place people now go for stories: social. Kareem Rahma rode along with UPS drivers, bringing his influence and audience to show the businesses they support and guiding people to find out more about each one.
