Uber Eats devised a DOOH campaign aimed at celebrating Ramadan, specifically targeting Iftar. As fasting concludes at sunset for every believer, this moment varies from city to city and day to day. Thus, the concept emerged to roll out the upcoming Iftar campaign, providing real-time updates on sunset times. This initiative serves as a reminder to worshippers in major English cities, facilitating swift and convenient booking for their Iftar meals, ultimately saving time on dinner preparation.
