A New Campaign Is Poking Fun At Painful Services In The UAE And It’s Pretty Funny

Avatar

Everyone’s been there – sitting waiting hours for an unreliable handyman to turn up. Or maybe it’s getting absolutely rinsed for the price of house-painting just because you live in a premium community.  

A quirky new campaign is poking fun at the perils of using random service providers who haven’t been properly vetted. 

The profiles, alluding to be real-life companies, have been set up for ‘Mister Overprice’, ‘Mister Maybe’, ‘Miss Clueless’ and ‘Mister Excuses’ complete with websites and social profiles. 

Mister Overprice promises sky-high prices…

Yup, relatable. 

While Mister Maybe promises zero reliability

We’ve all been there right!?

And Miss Clueless Cleaning Service 

The incompetent maids’ service – guaranteed to kill your fish, burn your clothes and make more mess than she started with… 

Then there’s Mister Excuses Moving & Packing

The guy who moves your stuff, breaks it and then blames you. 

It’s all done by mrUsta, a platform that can relate to the trials and tribulations of hiring non-vetted service providers in the UAE

mrUsta is an online platform aiming to take the guess work and pain out of hiring help. 

The app and site have a whole host of home services you can browse through and choose the best fit for your needs – for the best price. 

 All service providers on the platform have been carefully vetted and reviewed by customers – and any that get three consecutive negative reviews are removed from the platform indefinitely, meaning you can trust the providers on the app and site. 

The dream.

You can find your Usta (meaning a craftsman, professional or guru) on mrusta.com or via the app
