Who is our target audience?
MEET ROGER Following his morning routine, sipping coffee while reading the Wall Street Journal, Roger is preparing to leave for work. He is a self-made man who makes things happen everyday. He kisses his wife goodbye, hops into his 2015 BMW 4 Series convertible, and drives off to Bank of America, where he is a regional executive. As he’s driving, Roger plans for the weekend. He’ll visit his alma mater, the University of Florida, where he’ll attend Dad’s Weekend, an event at his son’s fraternity. Roger’s looking forward to seeing a lot of his old fraternity brothers there. Roger loves to drive and considers himself a cut above your average car enthusiast. Luxury cars are essential status symbols. Driving offers freedom, a reward for his hard work and a way to decompress. In fact, the five-hour drive to Gainesville is going to be one of the highlights of his week.

Roger loves his BMW, but he has been itching to drive a Porsche since he read an article in Car & Driver magazine last month. On the way to work with the top down, he recalls one of his fraternity brothers just bought a new Audi and posted pictures on Facebook. Roger decides it’s time for a change.

•
You can have your choice of dozens of makes and models delivered to your door simply by using the FlexWheels App.
We stay relevant by posting about events and trends Roger is passionate about—using popular hashtags and tagging events and event hosts. This both associates the passion Roger has for these events with FlexWheels and inspires him to check out events he would find interesting.
The voice understands how the emotion behind a social media account’s purpose is an important motivating factor for people to interact on social: luxury, competition, prestige, status, class.
FACEBOOK We encourage Roger‘s inner adventurer and share the benefits of driving FlexWheels. INSTAGRAM More than cars, we show Roger the exciting life he could be living and entice him to advocate for the brand through incentives and contests. TWITTER We interact with Roger and keep him up-to-date on industry news.

FlexWheels and Roger How is membership working for him?
While catching up with his son at the fraternity event, a couple of Roger’s old frat brothers pull him aside to talk about his new Porsche. He proudly informs them about his recent subscription to FlexWheels and how it’s heightened his love for driving cars by allowing him to flip cars on a regular basis. He whips out his phone and shows them his virtual garage full of cars he’s driven through FlexWheels. The following Monday morning, Roger wakes up to get ready for work. He sees on his phone he received a few texts from frat
20
bothers asking about FlexWheels. He posts his “referral link,” eager to earn upgrades for referring his friends to FlexWheels. Roger also checks Facebook and is gratified the photo he posted yesterday with his Porsche at the fraternity event has 35 likes already. Later, Roger attends a meeting with fellow executives. While discussing employee incentives with the HR director, he suggests looking into a company membership that would let the company award a free month of FlexWheels to top performers.
Before bed, Roger’s wife tells him about a car she saw on the road earlier. A quick check on the FlexWheels app and they’re in luck! He selects it for delivery in time for their anniversary. 21
