LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To celebrate Valentine's Day, mobility marketing startup, Ivee, is teaming up with American Greetings and Primary Wave Music Publishing to surprise ride-hailing passengers in Los Angeles with Valentine's Day themed rides. Along with the music of the legendary Smokey Robinson, Uber and Lyft passengers will be greeted with chocolates, heart shaped pillows, mood lighting, roses, the soulful voice of Smokey Robinson, and a special edition American Greeting's SmashUps digital greeting that passengers can send to loved ones.
Ivee's rides will run through Valentine's Day in Los Angeles and exclusively use Tesla Model S and Chevy bolt electric vehicles. Nearly 2,000 lucky passengers will ride in one of these cars for no extra cost. The rides will feature a tablet for busy passengers to send a free SmashUps to anyone they want to show love to. The highly personalized shareable videos will also include a selection of some of Smokey's biggest hits including "My Girl," and "Get Ready."
"Our participation in these thematic rides help remind passengers that it only takes a minute to make a lasting impression in someone's day" said Rob Matousek, GM of Direct to Consumer eCommerce Business at American Greetings.
"Ivee has helped personify what classic 'Smokey Robinson romance' looks like in 2019 – it's imaginative, chivalrous, and still very musical," said Jordan Moran, Director of Digital Marketing at Primary Wave Music Publishing."
"At Ivee we're creating a better passenger experience that goes beyond a 5-star experience. We believe that as the Mobility as a Service industry grows, consumers will want more from an everyday ride", said Alex Giannikoulis Founder and CEO of Ivee. "Collaborating with American Greetings and Smokey Robinson helps us delight passengers this Valentine's season. And most importantly, because we only use zero emission vehicles, brand support like this help us meet our commitment to sustainability."
