Enterprise College Athletes Commercial


            This commercial published by Enterprise showed how the company supports college sports and makes the claim that they hire former college athletes frequently.  The commercial does not focus on the actual functioning of the company, but rather just emphasizes how they support college sports.  There are many implied employees holding pictures of themselves playing their sport.  A major message from the commercial was that teamwork is carried over from sports to the customer service world.  This commercial was shown (and viewed by me) on the Big 10 network during the Michigan, Michigan State college football game. 
            As seen by the subject and the time that the commercial was aired, the advertisement is directed towards collegiate sports fans that could possibly be looking to travel or rent a car for another situation.  It tries to relate the viewer to the company through the use of sports.  The main intention of this advertisement is to attract potential customers to Enterprise; more specifically, it intends to attract people to the friendly service at the company.  In order to accomplish this, besides using sports as a connection, Enterprise uses a diverse set of people and sports in the commercial.  This will appeal to the maximum number of people possible.  There were no words in the commercial besides the logo at the end, forcing people to concentrate on the many, smiling employees talking about their college days.  As the commercial was well placed and shown, and the desired message was clear in the commercial, Enterprise accomplished their purpose in this advertisement.
