Continued from last post: 

For our project we created three print advertisements for Zipcar that will be used in bus shelters, subway entrances and newspapers. These print ads show two different situations and environments with a zipper closing or opening indicating that Zipcar can easily get you from Point-A to Point-B. 

Now that summer has settled in, I have been reminiscing about my first year at TempleU and looking over all of my advertising and marketing projects. My favorite project was a campaign for Zipcar (a car sharing service that targets city residents www.zipcar.com) in my Intro to Advertising class. My role for the semester long project was the Account Planner where I conducted primary and secondary research and analyzed the results. 

From our research results we created a new concept and brand image. Our positioning statement, “Zip Up Your Possibilities” conveys the freedom that Zipcar can take you anywhere, anytime at your own connivence without worrying about the expensive costs of owning a car (with a low rate of $8 per hour or $64 per day covers your insurance, gas, tolls or medical problem.)

My team created a media schedule with three media platforms (Print, Radio and Guerilla) that targeted college students and young professionals living in an urban atmosphere with a low income and an “always on the go” mentality.

I uploaded the radio commercial we created. We wanted to really catch our audiences’ attention so we portrayed a bizzar situation of a guy who wanted to take a girl out on a date but his brother took his car so he needed to find an alternative way to go on his date. We had a lot of fun creating all of our media platforms, especially this one!
