The Challenge: When Content Velocity Can't Keep Up with Product Innovation
Uber Freight's Product & Solutions Marketing team sits at the heart of every product launch, responsible for messaging, positioning, content creation, and sales enablement. But as the product roadmap accelerated with quarterly launches, their content production model needed to keep pace.
The Content Burden
The team needed to produce and maintain:
- Demo videos and interactive walkthroughs
- Web pages and one-pagers
- Sales slides and industry-specific decks
- Internal training and sales enablement materials
- Thought leadership and support for launch-ready PR content
Viv Luu, Head of Product & Solutions Marketing, had a clear content strategy but lacked the time and resources to execute it at scale. The traditional video production approach created a costly bottleneck.

The Old Way: A Resource-Intensive Process
Creating a single product demo required:
- 2-4 week turnaround per asset
- $5K-$60K budgets for external vendor coordination
- Manual sourcing of music, voice actors, and design resources
- Constant rework to keep up with frequent product updates
- Repetitive requests for variations from sales and customer teams
The team was trapped in an impossible trade-off between speed, cost, and quality.
"We operate as a lean and mean team, so we need to keep our costs low, and our output quality high."
— Viv Luu, Head of Product & Solutions Marketing
The Solution: AI-Powered Demo Production at Marketing Speed
After researching vendors through Gartner and consulting with peers, Viv identified Hexus as the platform that could transform their content workflow. The platform offered three key capabilities that aligned with their needs.
1. Instant Demo Creation from Existing Recordings
Hexus uses AI to automatically transform demo recordings into step-by-step interactive flows, generating content outlines, suggested narration, and structure without manual intervention.
"75% of the heavy lifting is handled, right out of the box. The rest is just polish."
— Viv Luu
2. Build Once, Deploy Everywhere
A single Hexus demo now serves multiple functions across:
- Demos are highlighted in product launches and marketing campaigns
- Demo multi-flows are configured for sales enablement and training
- Demos are used to preview and introduce features in customer education and active use programs
- Demos are featured on Uber Freigh’s website in product pages in resource center
This eliminated the need to create separate assets for each channel and audience.

3. On-Brand, On-Demand Production
The platform enables a single marketer to produce professional, on-brand, avatar-narrated demos with voiceover—no design team or video production support required. This democratized content creation across the marketing team.
The Impact: Better Content, Faster Launches, Higher Engagement
Viv's team now launches new product stories every quarter with significantly less time, fewer resources, and measurably greater reach and engagement.
Quantifiable Results
Beyond the Numbers
The transformation extends beyond cost and speed metrics:
- Agility: Updates roll out quickly to match product evolution
- Efficiency: Multiple teams leverage the same high-quality assets
- Scalability: Content production no longer bottlenecks launches
- Quality: Consistent, professional output without compromise
"We're not just saving money, we're accelerating launches, telling better stories, and enabling every team to do more with less."
— Viv Luu

What's Next: Scaling Success Across the Organization
Uber Freight sees significant opportunity to expand Hexus beyond marketing, with growing impact across sales, product, and internal enablement functions. Viv views their content strategy as a key competitive differentiator in the logistics technology space.
The team is now scaling Hexus to support:
- Accelerated product launches
- Comprehensive sales training programs
- Enhanced customer education experiences
- Embedded interactive demos across digital properties
"Our go-to-market strategy today integrates demos across the customer journey. Interactive demos are embedded within our website to facilitate self-service discovery. They’re included sales teams’ challenge identification and solution design conversations with prospects. Showcases of demos are part of ongoing education efforts to help our teams and customers get the most out of their investment in Uber Freight technology."
— Viv Luu
With interactive demos becoming seamlessly integrated across channels, the team is focused on helping buyers discover and engage with Uber Freight's products and services more effectively than ever before.
