When Texas-based rideshare startup Alto set its sights on Los Angeles, The Uptown Agency orchestrated a comprehensive launch strategy to introduce the 'safer' ride-hailing service in this competitive market. Alto, known for its employee-based model and stringent safety measures, needed to distinguish itself from giants like Uber and Lyft, especially during the pandemic. The Uptown Agency handled all facets of the launch, including digital marketing, strategy, photography, video production, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, and media planning and buying.
The campaign emphasized Alto’s unique value propositions: an employee driver model, rigorous background checks, HEPA cabin air filters, and frequent vehicle disinfections. These elements were highlighted across various media channels, reinforcing Alto’s commitment to safety and reliability. The launch successfully positioned Alto as a premium, safer alternative in the LA rideshare market, attracting both cautious consumers and conscientious drivers.
