70 Years of Freedom With Jeep
July 31st, 2011 | Posted by Paul |
70 Years Of Freedom With Jeep®. Back in May 2011 this year Jeep® launched the brand new Jeep Compass to help them celebrate 70 years of freedom on the road…
In fact, Jeep® were so pleased with themselves that they issued the following statement…
70 YEARS OF FREEDOM WITH JEEP
And this is some of what the last 70 years has produced for Jeep®:
CLASSIC JEEPS
“But what’s this got to do with you Paul?” I hear you ask… (by the way – did I mention I have very good hearing? 
) Well, what I like is the new way in which Jeep® is moving forward from it’s 70th birthday by including a new “digital identity” for their fans. If you go over to here: JEEP®connected to the world, you’ll read all about “Jeep People”….
JEEP® RUN ACROSS AMERICA WITH ALEX BELLINI
Together with Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited, Alex Bellini is taking part in the LA-NY Footrace 2011 for a Transamerican challenge. You can track Alex’s run with Jeep here: Run Across America With Alex Bellini And Jeep®.
Jeep ® are seeking web ambassadors for their brand. They want to know about YOU. They want to know about YOUR challenge. What puts YOU in the banding of those qualities which Jeep® embody? Jeep® want to know your J-Factor? Tell Jeep® about something you’re going to do – some challenge or event – something that you think gives you the J-Factor. Okay – you don’t have to be running across America like Alex Bellini because YOUR J-Factor may be much more personal to you – but equally encompass the qualities of drive, passion and enthusiasm for life which Jeep® owners, and admirers of Jeeps®, also share.
I love life! I have done many things, (before the internet, digital cameras, YouTube etc), which would easily get me into a “Jeep® Person” spot on their website. A few weeks ago, (Sunday June 26th 2011 to be precise), me and Sue were in Oregon, USA – a wedding. On that Sunday I decided that it was time for another “Brief Adventure of Paul”! Thankfully for me my friend Larry Williams just happened to have trotted down the beach behind me with his camcorder to capture me as I made my “final goodbyes” to camera before plunging into the Pacific Ocean!…
And, just to up my “Potential J Rankings” with Jeep® – I’ve also managed to lose 3st – that’s 42lbs or 19kgs – from October last year to now. So I guess I’m a super human athlete as well! Yeah – I’ll RACE that Alex bloke across America…lol…
Anyway, this is why Jeep® wants to know about you. To help them celebrate their 70th anniversary, (you just missed the party – it was on July 15th), Jeep® want you to share your adventure and your plans with them. Have you got the J-Factor?
Oh, and just in case you think this is just some kind of HUGE promotional campaign by Jeep® that will disappear in a puff of smoke in a few months time, Jeep® are alive and well across the social networks – Jeep® People On Facebook; Jeep® People on Twitter; and you can follow Alex Bellini’s run across America with Jeep over at Jeep® People On You Tube.
What can I say? Jeep® are celebrating 70 years of freedom – and want you to be involved. Oh, there is one more thing – why not become a Jeep® Blog Friend? If you’re writing/blogging about Jeep® you can enter the URL of your blog post and become part of the Jeep® social network. You may also have the chance to attend exclusive experiences together with Jeep®, such as Goodwood Revival – a unique event in its kind, a magical leap in time to relive the glory and luxury of old automotive competitions that will take place on September 16-18, 2011 in Sussex, England.
Well, that’s me sorted here. So, remember – it’s Jeep®s 70 years of freedom celebrations and they’re looking forward to including you. Check out JEEP® People over at JEEP®connected to the world. And if you think you have the J-Factor – Jeep® want to know your J-Factor. It’s all good fun with JEEP®!
Happy Birthday JEEP® – and here’s to another 70 years – at least!
