Uber Eats: Baseball

At a good game, leaving for food means missing the moment. We built the spot as an escalating comedy about exactly that, then shipped it as a system: a :30, cutdowns that keep the joke, and key visuals made to be collected.

01 · The challenge

The moment you can't get back

When the game gets good, hunger becomes a real problem: leaving for food risks the one thing you can't get back: the moment.

This wasn't a hunger problem, it was a FOMO problem: fans won't trade a live moment for a trip to the kitchen, so the idea had to preserve the moment, not just feed people. A global platform idea, built for Japanese fandom specifically, not localized after the fact.

02 · The idea

The family that left for food

An escalating sports comedy (the family that left for food, a foul ball, a chase through spectators, players, and a dog) resolving on the fact that Uber Eats would have saved them.

The :30 opens this page. The :15 and :06 are below.

03 · The line

One line on every card

It sits under each player's bio, and it runs on the metro wall too.

  • 見逃したくないなら、Uber Eatsで、いーんじゃない?(If you don't want to miss it, why not Uber Eats?): on every card back and the metro wall.

04 · The cards

Made to be collected

The BASEBALL CARD 2026 pack, with Riisa Naka and Akiyoshi Nakao by position on the front.

Key visuals built as genuine collectible trading cards, not OOH styled to look like them: unified layouts, bold typography, player signatures, premium variants, each keyed to a real position with its own line ("if you don't want to miss the strikeout show…").

05 · Social

Gestures over words

The social cut ran on misread gestures between a couple watching together: dialogue-light, mute-friendly, built to be understood with the sound off.

06 · DOOH

Metro wall vision

The stadium moment, scaled to a station wall.

07 · Results

Shipped as a system

Shipped as a system, not a spot: a :30 hero with :06 and :15 cutdowns that still land the same joke, a key-visual set built to be collected rather than looked at, and a social edit that works with the sound off.
