When hip-hop artist Cardi B climbed to the top of the Billboard charts in September of last year, Lyft let users turn the cars in the app into her face and nails. The stunt was the company’s first in-app takeover with an artist and “the perfect moment” for Lyft to execute it, said Jessica Zhang, manager of culture and entertainment at the ride-hailing company.

Zhang is part of the team at Lyft that works to bring together partnerships with music, entertainment and influencers to elevate the company’s brand awareness.
