The promotion is part of Hertz’s recently launched Movin’ with Music program, which includes the introduction of Hertz Live Radio, which will be streamed at Hertz facilities and on Hertz buses; and the Hertz Music Store, where Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members will be able to use their reward points to acquire music online.
The Hertz Corp. and Live Nation Entertainment launched the first consumer promotion as part of the Hertz Movin' with Music platform: the Hertz "Ticket to Ride" contest, according to a Jan. 18 press release.
To further fuse the music and driving experience, Hertz "Ticket to Ride" gives music fans an opportunity to get up close and personal with their favorite artists by showing fan passion via social media. The grand prize is a trip for two, including a free Hertz Car Rental, to meet and interview the contemporary soul band, Fitz and the Tantrums.
"We are making the Hertz brand synonymous with music, a strong passion point for consumers which goes hand-in-hand with cars and the driving experience," said Hertz Chairman and CEO Mark P. Frissora. "Through our Movin' with Music platform, we are making this happen with interactive programs, like the Hertz 'Ticket to Ride' contest, that engage with music fans and tie Hertz to today's consumers."
