Like the rest of the world, we ship Gabby and Tyler—the content creators who found what might just be love during an impromptu street-style interview for TikTok. So we helped The UPS Store get in on the action and partnered with the pair to support their budding long-distance romance. It's like Lauren Norton, our Associate Connections Planning Director, said:

“In order to drive meaningful relevance for brands on social media, we keep an eye on community conversations that have the potential to catch fire and turn into larger cultural moments—like Tyler and Gabby’s meet-cute. Long-distance relationships have been a popular conversation on TikTok for years, with countdown mashups until the next in-person hug or influencers like Chris Olsen delivering coffee around the world. They’re also a common shipping use case for businesses like The UPS Store—so what better opportunity to show support for Tyler and Gabby than The UPS Store 'shipping' their relationship? The trick was moving quickly enough to be part of the skyrocketing momentum around their budding relationship, so within 24 hours of their first date we had partnerships established with the couple and a game plan for how to Pack & Ship a long-distance care package from Greenville to Miami.”
