Project: My Taxi by Matrix Internet

The Brief

Mytaxi has revolutionised hailing cabs in Ireland, and shivering in taxi rank queues is fast becoming obsolete in cities. If you’re now used to finding a driver to pick you up at all times with a few smartphone taps, you have Mytaxi to thank — and Matrix has helped further enhance this process through our custom development and marketing strategies.

Mytaxi is far more than a revolutionary e-hailing app for single cab users. It’s also used by companies of all sizes to manage taxi budget accounts and generate detailed reports of staff usage.

It is a rapidly expanding company that now operates in over 70 cities all over Europe, so cross-functionality and a smooth User Experience (UX) for a diverse customer base was vital to ensure thousands of businesses can unlock their full potential.

We developed divisions for the Mytaxi website in Ireland, the UK, Italy, Poland and Spain, with each one a standalone, fully localised and translated website. We developed bespoke landing pages to not only target users in specific countries but also to reach specific buying personas, such as office managers, CEOs and regular cab users. We also accelerated the driver uptake rate with a website that simplified the process of taking the exam and moving to Mytaxi.

We transferred this targeted development strategy to specific marketing campaigns, reaching a diverse range of users on every social media channel with engaging messages finely tuned to their needs. Overall, from development to marketing all over Europe, our project with Mytaxi has been hailed as a big success.

Testimonial

We worked with Matrix on a series of projects for FreeNow (then Mytaxi), and having them in the driving seat made a huge difference to our expansion. Matrix and their multi-skilled team worked on web development and digital marketing strategy, from User Experience research to remarketing and boosting conversions in numerous European markets. One solution that made a huge difference was the Flexi Team Pack, which gave us a chance to work with a diverse range of specialists, briefed to fit all our requirements. Their attention to detail and marketing expertise helped us reach a vast audience, and led to a huge number of business users and drivers joining the MyTaxi platform, as well as a massive boost in traffic and transactions through our app. Success in the Irish market has led to our international divisions across Europe commissioning Matrix to help them to grow new audiences. The international team at Matrix are ideally equipped to help global companies like FreeNow to flourish online.
