Jeep
Jeep wanted to reach younger audiences with its new Compass SUV. They needed content that showed the vehicle’s versatility: comfortable on LA streets but ready for weekend trips to Big Bear. They didn’t want the series to feel like a traditional car commercial.

About The Project
Our Approach
I knew we couldn’t make a traditional car commercial. Our audience would see through that immediately. Instead, I wanted to show the Compass through real experiences that our listeners could actually see themselves in. The key was using a trusted and familiar talent to make it feel less like advertising and more like a genuine co-sign. I planned the story to naturally move from city life to outdoor adventures, showing both sides of what the vehicle could do without being heavy-handed about it.
Deployment
I planned a clear story for each content piece, showing the Compass moving from city scenes to outdoor trips. My team and I scouted multiple locations to film that showed both aspects. During filming, I directed the shots, focusing on “loose-feeling” videos of the Jeep in action and telling a story that resonated with our listeners. It was important to me that the content didn’t feel like an ad, but more like a genuine co-sign from a trusted on-air personality that could tell a great story and generate new leads for the client.

Results
The video series showed the Compass's versatility while delivering entertaining content our audience genuinely wanted to watch and engage with. We generated new leads and walk-ins for local Jeep dealerships.
