Behavior: Carpe Diem
UBER |
One of the most popular pieces of advice in Latin America is “DO NOT TAKE TAXIS ON THE STREET”, because you may get robbed or kidnapped or worse. While you still need to move around the city every day, and the current options were so insecure and disorganized, the opportunity was clear: to establish a centralized, better organized, and transparent option for your transportation. Getting rides instantly means less stress, and while you are still hopping onto the car of a stranger, at least you get the sensation of having an extra layer of information and security in your favor. A very convenient urban means of transport, it has become a mobile extension of our office. Why waste your time behind a wheel when you call an Uber? That way, you can enjoy the trip while doing your stuff, like reading, working or talking over the phone.

SLACK |
Slack has made waves in the corporate sphere in recent years as a revolutionary tool for workplace communication and organization. The platform is centered around ‘channels’, which are chatroom-like interfaces that allow for quick sharing of important information between employees, while archiving all that information for later searching. The main draw for Slack is that it increases productivity by not having to ask people what they said or what the latest update is – you can simply search for it in the related channel, decreasing our time lost finding things out and increasing our time getting things done.
