Grab Philippines, wanted to promote GrabUnlimited--a subscription package that allows consumers to enjoy free delivery on GrabFood everyday.

However, foodpanda, category leader and GrabFood's main competitor, launched its subscription package called pandapro first with noisier and more aggressive above-the-line marketing efforts.

How could Grab get people to subscribe to its newest feature amidst the omnipresence of the other delivery app foodpanda?

A boy gets sick, and someone watches over him.

GrabUnlimited not only had to get noticed, it had to be associated with better deals.

Its edge--free delivery every day. The proposition was brought to life with the idea that with free delivery daily, you’ll be ordering with GrabUnlimited so much, the riders will become family.

Before launch, SOV was 76.6%-23.4% in favor of pandapro. After launch, GrabFood’s SOV grew to 75.5% vs. foodpanda at 24.5%. People who posted about GrabFood on social media associated it with better deals.

Subscriptions surged by 200% (3x growth) vs. the average of the previous three weeks. As a result, GrabUnlimited more than doubled its subscription share one month after the campaign, 138.5% larger than pandapro’s.

GrabFood moved popular culture. The campaign reaped free, unsolicited reactions from publishers and influencers. It became a topic in University of the Philippines, the national university. It was even parodied in 'Bubble Gang,' the Philippines’ 'Saturday Night Live.'
