Grubhub Brand Activations
Delivery X
Grubhub’s April Fools’ Day campaign introduced a new way to get delivery — a way that broke the mold of other tech-forward alternatives from Grubhub’s competitors.
Instead of relying on slow, error-ridden robots to deliver food, Delivery X employs a fleet of parkour runners, skateboarders and BMX riders to deliver food faster than ever before.

Grubhub Sound Bites
Grubhub Sound Bites was an ongoing virtual concert series that invited people to bring their takeout to the show.
Each virtual concert was an opportunity to support new artists, raise money for new charities, and to better connect and relate with our customers.
Lupe Fiasco and UMI Sound Bites:
In the wake of the pandemic, this Sound Bites focused support and engagement around Black-owned restaurants through a partnership with World Central Kitchen.
During this show, Grubhub donated $1 to for every comment up to $100,000 to World Central Kitchen, and our viewers did not disappoint.
