Sponsored rides
A real convention-week campaign
During a convention week, AXA XL wrapped chariots with an offer for attendees: “WSIA attendees ride for FREE.” Riders got around downtown, and the brand rode with them.
That's the sponsored-ride model: your wrap on the chariot, your offer on the fare.
Packages
Three ways to ride with us
Mix them: wrap a few chariots for the month, then add a fleet for your convention week.
Monthly wraps
Always-on fleet wraps billed per chariot per month. The more chariots you wrap, the lower the rate, with an extra discount for annual commitments.
Always onEvent media by the hour
Branded chariots working your event, convention or launch. Booked in 8-hour days with a 3-day minimum, and longer runs get better rates.
Event weeksWrap design & install
A one-time fee per chariot covers design, install and removal. We store your wraps between bookings, so repeat campaigns are media-only.
