Today marks a big milestone: 15 years since technology first met urban mobility on Greek streets. 📱 It all started in 2011 with Taxibeat, an innovative idea born in Athens that proved something important: Greek talent doesn’t just participate in the global tech scene, it helps shape it 🚀 From Taxibeat → to Beat → to Freenow, this journey has become one of the standout success stories of the Greek tech ecosystem, culminating in the acquisition by Lyft and connecting millions of travelers across Europe and beyond. Over these 15 years, the journey has been… quite something: 🚕 billions of kilometers driven 🗺️ rides across the entire country 📍 from the northernmost regions to the islands of the Aegean & Ionian 📏 even a record-breaking ride of over 600 km (yes, really!) And through it all, one thing stayed the same: trust. 💬 As our General Manager for Greece, Aspasia Topalidou, shared: “This anniversary is not just a number. It is the reward of the trust we have built over the years with our partner drivers and passengers.” Of course, the media are spotlighting the journey 📰 but the real story is simple: Freenow = its people. And the Greek team has been at the heart of it all. So here’s to 15 years of movement, growth, and impact... and to everything still ahead. #FreenowbyLyft #FreenowGreece #15yearsanniversary

We’re incredibly proud to announce that our campaign, The Stone Lifting Studio has been shortlisted for Creative Innovation at The Drum Awards for Marketing EMEA 2026! 🏆 Following a bold and humorous advertising campaign that revived the ancient Irish tradition of stone lifting, we partnered with FUEL to bring a unique in-person experience to life: Ireland’s first Stone Lifting Studio, located right in the heart of Dublin City 🪨💪🏼. By taking the "travelling stone" from the screen and turning it into a high-energy physical activation, we bridged the gap between raw heritage and modern fitness culture. This allowed locals to experience a centuries-old test of strength firsthand while reminding Dubliners that Freenow by Lyft taxi 🚖 is only a ‘stone’s throw away’ and our service is ‘rock solid.’  Learn more about the nomination: https://lnkd.in/dDVaJhMV
