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.
An absolute mecca for enthusiasts, Jeep Beach has been drawing faithful “Jeepers” to Daytona for over 20 years. Part car show, part party, and all-Jeep, Gordinier Group makes the trip each year to add to the fun by building a challenging off-road course on the infield of the iconic Daytona International Speedway. Once complete, our precision drivers showcase both the capabilities of new Jeep vehicles and proper off-road driving techniques to thousands of Jeep loyalists.
In the months before the event, our experienced logistics team secured everything needed to make this build happen. From permits to dirt delivery to heavy equipment, it’s all taken care of before the team hits the ground. With a short two-day build window, attention to detail is essential for this exciting event.
Once up and running, even the most seasoned enthusiasts are impressed by Jeep’s prowess throughout the model lineup as the vehicles effortlessly traverse the rugged terrain, affirming its dominance in the off-road arena.
The constant growth in popularity of this event serves as a testament to the enduring strength of the Jeep brand. We consider ourselves lucky to play a small role in helping to fuel the passion shown by the fans attending this event. And we always strive to do it on time, on budget, and on brand.
As our team put the final touches on the Camp Jeep course outside the main entrance of Javits Center, the excitement began to set in. This year we celebrated our 20th anniversary of sharing the Camp Jeep Experience with the guests of the New York International Auto Show.
We’ve had 20 years of thrill rides along 11th Ave on the west side of Manhattan. 20 years of being exposed to the elements. This year was no different. Wind, rain, sleet, you name it. The team adapted and continued to provide a memorable experience for our guests.
Little did we know Mother Nature had an anniversary surprise for us. At 10:20 AM on April 5th, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck the NYC region. It was the largest seen in the last century but resulted in no damage and everyone remained safe.
Despite the challenges posed, some unprecedented, Gordinier Group delivered some impressive metrics for the show.
- Over 31,000 passengers
- Over 12,000 safe laps of a challenging course
- Countless smiles
And to quote some of our guests:
- “I missed the Jeep track at the Philly Auto show, so I made my way to NY when I saw that Jeep was here. This track has become an annual thing for our family, and we are so happy we were able to do it this year.”
- “Thank you for being the best thing at the auto show again and again, no one has topped this ride yet.”
- “Glad to see Jeep at the show this year, I bought my 2023 Gladiator last year after riding on this track.”
- “We love the vibe at Jeep. Always a great time.”
We can’t wait to see what the next 20 years have in store! Thank you, NYC!
At Rodeo Austin 2024, RAM Truck Territory took center stage, offering attendees an exciting off-road ride-along experience. Throughout the event, participants eagerly lined up to hop into RAM vehicles, ready to tackle the rugged terrain.
Before the trucks could roll out, Gordinier Group’s expert off-road track builders meticulously crafted the natural elements of the off-road course to push RAM Trucks to their limits. These obstacles, coupled with engineered assets from our partners at George P. Johnson, provided a perfect setting to showcase the inherent capabilities of RAM vehicles.
With our precision drivers at the helm, RAM Trucks conquered the steep inclines and challenging obstacles effortlessly, giving our guests a fun and exhilarating ride. Throughout the trip around the course, they were treated to firsthand demonstrations of RAM’s innovative features, from advanced traction control systems to interior design elements. Additionally, attendees could also experience the towing prowess of the RAM 3500 dually on a separate course.
Based on their reactions, participants departed exhilarated and impressed by the unrivaled capability of RAM Trucks. Here are some quotes from our guests:
- “The Power Wagon is such a sensible off-road vehicle. From the towing capacity to its incredible off-road performance, it has more than enough cab space for me and my family. The Power Wagon is the full package.”
- “Ram is clearly the superior truck brand.”
- “My ranch definitely needs a few Rams. Impressive.”
- “The new towing features in the Dually are a deal closer for me.”
When the dust settled, Gordinier Group provided 12,000 incredible brand experiences to Rodeo fans in Austin. Texans love RAM Trucks!
