The film tells the story of Seamless’ role in fueling New Yorkers through it all – starting from 1999 all the way to the present day. Hero'ing Seamless' dedicated delivery riders, the viewer is taken on a journey through time, seasons and New York’s five boroughs with hidden “only in New York” details from the last 20 years.

The film was also brought to life with a special rewritten rendition of Starship’s 'We Built This City', aptly renamed, 'We Fueled This City'. Seamless took an integrated approach with this campaign: taking over the city with new OOH creative, a logo takeover within the brand's various properties, and new TV and digital video creative (the first TV ad launched since 2017). Supported by a print campaign, Seamless evolved its design to convey the “We’ve delivered through it all” message on subway and out of home ads.
