After a several-year hiatus, our team was excited to return to Pueblo, CO for the 122 annual Colorado State Fair. We joined our partners at George P. Johnson and RAM to offer ride-a-long experiences to as many of the 510,000 attendees as possible.
Our course consisted of natural terrain obstacles constructed by our Dirt Designs team and the ever-popular RAM Mountain engineered and built by George P. Johnson. The location of the activation maximized both foot traffic and brand visibility. During the 11 days, people flocked to the track and waited in line to get a ride in their favorite RAM truck. Across the way, our product specialists educated fairgoers on the new RAM 2500 and 3500 models.
When the dust cleared (literally!), our team of precision drivers had made a total of 4200 laps on the track and over 10,000 guests experienced the power and off-road capability of the RAM Truck brand. At the static vehicle display, our product specialists interacted with another 2300+ people. It’s clear, the RAM brand is strong in Colorado, and we are happy to help make it stronger!
Jeep and Gordinier Group were back at the Minnesota 4Fest event in Elk River, MN for 2022. Gordinier Group designed and constructed the off-road course to give each consumer a thrill ride they won’t soon forget. With a course precisely designed to highlight the 4×4 Jeep, our drivers are able to demonstrate the true trail rated aptitudes of the brand.
Gordinier Group teamed up with longtime partner George P. Johnson to deliver a 7-week program at TAC – the birthplace of the modern Jeep Wrangler.
In an effort to boost morale at the plant, the Jeep Immersion at TAC was designed to give employees an opportunity to grow their enthusiasm for the brand. Employees from each department in the plant spent a full day learning about Jeep history, participating in team-building activities and ultimately driving the vehicles that they build on a challenging off-road course.
Gordinier Group was charged with designing and constructing the off-road courses and providing drivers and safety spotters to operate them. We developed two courses – an extreme ‘Rubicon Only’ course that our drivers took passengers on as well as a ‘Trail Rated’ course that was driven by the employees with our spotters on hand to help them to navigate the course.
We came into this event with the experience earned last summer at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant (JNAP) Jeep Immersion under our belt. The timing and logistics of getting over 100 employees safely through both courses each day had been dialed in, and guests LOVED the experience. Participants used off-road driving lessons given by GG drivers on the Rubicon course to pilot their Wranglers through the Trail Rated course without incident.
Activating an event in Toledo at the home of the Wrangler was a special opportunity for our drivers, who are all die-hard Wrangler fans. It didn’t go unnoticed that just a few feet away, 2018 Wrangler JLs were rolling off of the line… Exciting times for Jeep fans!
