Jeep and Gordinier Group were back for the 5th annual Detroit 4Fest event at Holly Oaks ORV Park in Holly, Michigan. Jeep has been a proud sponsor and Gordinier Group has been treating guests to thrill rides in the vehicle since the debut. The ORV Park provides all sorts of terrain from steep inclines and declines to rock crawling and water fording to experience Jeep’s extreme capabilities. You name it, the ORV Park offers it, and the Jeep concurs it!
Prior to the 4Fest public event day, Jeep invites the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy senior class out to spend the day learning and experiencing what Stellantis and the Jeep Brand has to offer any upcoming automotive industry enthusiast. The students have the opportunity to interact with different mentors in the field, ask questions that pique their interest and then jump in a Jeep for a guided tour through the off-road park to finish out the day.
Gordinier Group had the pleasure to partake in the special day once again and made more memories to last a lifetime! The students were very engaging and had a great time while Jeepin’ through the rouged trails. The fan favorite was playing in the water ponds, so much so we “had” to do it over and over!! There’s nothing like a muddy Jeep to put a smile on everyone’s face!
Bob Broderdorf, Head of Jeep Brand, North America said it best in his LinkedIn post Jalen Rose Leadership Academy
In the past, we typically setup outside the auto show in Miami. While this approach provided an outdoor experience for our guests, it made us vulnerable to inclement weather, which could close the course for extended periods. This year, our partners at Jeep and George P. Johnson (GPJ) decided to move the event indoors, and the results were fantastic.
GPJ arrived early to set up the engineered obstacles that have made Camp Jeep famous nationwide. Once everything was complete and a large fleet of Jeep vehicles arrived on-site, our team of precision drivers began honing their skills around the course in preparation for the auto show enthusiasts who would soon flock to the convention center.
And flock they did! Throughout the 11-day show, guests lined up patiently for their turn. The impact Camp Jeep has on our visitors never ceases to amaze us. Here are just a few quotes from our guests:

“I’m glad Jeep came back to the show; we only came because we saw you guys on the news.”
“I’ve bought two Jeeps because of this track. My first was a 2019 Wrangler, and I just got a 2024 Wrangler!”
“This is the most impressive display at the auto show! We came here just to take a ride in a 4xe.”
“If this doesn’t make you want to buy a Jeep, I don’t know what will! Jeep always has the best displays.”

As the team packed up to leave at the end of the show, it was clear that it had been a job well done. Thanks to strong teamwork and seamless event logistics, nearly 20,000 people experienced the incredible capabilities of Jeep vehicles. Thank you, Miami!
As electric vehicles (EVs) begin to take center stage in the automotive industry, manufacturers must introduce this groundbreaking technology to the public in exciting and engaging ways. Auto Shows serve as the perfect platform for this purpose.
The Gordinier Group, in collaboration with our partners at Stellantis, attended the 2024 Miami Auto Show to connect with a vibrant stream of enthusiastic attendees. We showcased a selection of brand-new EVs from Dodge, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo, each paired with our precision drivers, who also acted as product experts. After registration, guests enjoyed thrilling rides around the indoor track in their vehicle of choice.
Whether they are early-adopter technophiles or dedicated fans of internal combustion engines, the instant torque and blistering acceleration of electric vehicles never fail to elicit intrigued smiles from riders many of whom admitted they will now be considering an EV as their next vehicle.
This is the power of experiential marketing, and it’s one of the many reasons we love our job!
Colorado Calls…Gordinier Group and RAM deliver!
Aiming to replicate our successful visit in 2023, the GG team was thrilled to arrive in Pueblo, CO, for the 152nd annual Colorado State Fair. We once again partnered with RAM Truck and George P. Johnson to create an engaging brand experience for as many fairgoers as possible. With nearly half a million attendees expected, we were prepared for an exciting 11 days.
The RAM Truck Territory featured two ways to experience the brand. In the static display area, our product specialists conducted detailed walkarounds of the RAM 2500 Limited and the new RAM 1500 RHO. Enthusiastic guests, many of whom put their trucks to work daily, eagerly sought more information, and the excitement around both models was evident. The ride-along experience included a hybrid course of natural obstacles designed by our Dirt Design team and the renowned RAM Mountain, engineered by the skilled team at GPJ. Despite temperatures soaring into the 90s throughout the week, guests eagerly waited to test the off-road capabilities of RAM trucks and had a fantastic time.
By the end of the show, our product specialists had introduced nearly 5,000 people to the RAM brand, while our precision drivers provided rides to over 11,000 adventure-seeking guests. With metrics surpassing those of the previous year, the RAM brand strengthened its presence and visibility in Colorado and beyond.
