In support of their rapid growth, Root Auto Insurance challenged us to design a creative brand experience for drivers in launch markets—one that echoed their brand pillars: safety, fairness, simplicity and savings.
To do so, we planned and deployed a free rideshare program for the most expensive and unsafe driving nights of the year—St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s Eve in Denver, Colorado and Columbus, Ohio respectively.
To deliver Root’s holiday gift to drivers, we organized a fleet of luxury vehicles and split them between downtown nightlife hotspots. Pick-up areas were equipped with a photobooth, heaters, free food and seasonal giveaways. Each was staffed with two brand ambassadors to help facilitate the experience, distribute merchandise and answer questions about both the rideshare campaign and Root Insurance’s unique services.
We also lead PR efforts with local news outlets to maximize public awareness prior to each activation.
