THE CHALLENGE
Jim Beam needed a motor coach that could simultaneously serve as an iconic brand statement at auto racing events, a premium hospitality space for celebrity and VIP guests, and a flexible platform capable of activating across sponsorship contexts beyond the racetrack—including major music properties.
- Create an iconic vehicle identity that reinforced Jim Beam’s auto racing sponsorship positioning
- Provide unmatched on-site VIP hospitality for celebrity guests and brand partners
- Serve as a brand centerpiece that generated attention and awareness beyond the immediate event footprint
- Build a platform flexible enough to extend into music sponsorship and non-racing activations
THE VEHICLE
Creative Coach Solutions designed and built a 45-foot Prevost XLII configured as Jim Beam Racing’s signature brand platform. The vehicle featured a front slide-out for expanded interior space, twin awnings for exterior presence, a full exterior branded wrap, and the program’s signature feature—a custom-built rooftop observation deck with an integrated video screen offering guests unobstructed race viewing from above the paddock floor.
