The latest installment of Uber Eats’ “Tonight I’ll Be Eating” campaign from agency Special Group features Sir Elton John and Lil Nas X. Directed by Guy Shelmerdine of SMUGGLER, this :30 entitled “Rides” finds John on a mechanical rocket ship and Lil Nas X perched on a grocery store pony ride as they share their Uber Eats’ orders. John tries to borrow some change for his stalled ride but Lil Nas X can’t believe that the superstar has no coin on him.
The campaign continues a series of celebrity mash-ups presented by Uber Eats and Special Group. The Star Wars vs. Star Trek showdown featured Sir Patrick Stewart and Mark Hamill meeting for the first time on Earth. Simone Biles and Jonathan Van Ness shared their orders and a love of gymnastics, while the epic Mike Myers and Dana Carvey Wayne’s World reunion featuring Cardi B was part of this year’s Super Bowl ad lineup.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, โSounds Grande,โ as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami). The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
