Who has not already experienced “losing” their car in a parking garage after a long shopping spree or a trip? “Which floor? Which area? Which colour or shape was it? Why did I not have a pen to write the number down?” The finality is frustration and blame on the “others”. Yet parking is an inevitable event in life.

Ludwig Morasch, after one-too-many of these incidences, used his previous expertise (marketing research and trends, shopping centre design, infotainment centres, experience worlds...) to develop a solution to this nuance. He developed the concept of orienting oneself back to a car by memorising the branded area where one was parked.

After several years of research Carspaze was created to project this new platform worldwide with the support of two patents - parking garage orientation thanks to themed environments and the use of fire resistant materials for displaying the brands.

Richard Couldrey, CEO of Carspaze: “With the ability to add modules such as sound, smell and events, the Carspaze concept is the ultimate communications platform that offers comfort and high brand memorisation. Now one can say “I remember I parked in Coca-Cola, and I feel secure thanks to the brand!””.

The first car parks in Switzerland, Portugal and the USA opened their doors to the Carspaze concept in 2009; where surveys from Nielsen and GFK show high levels of consumer satisfaction and comfort, as well as very high recall rates and purchase impulse at the POS.

CARSPAZE USA, Inc. is rolling out an innovative, eco friendly, advertising medium that transforms parking lots into large scale, drive-in brand environments. JetBlue is pioneering this new concept creating installations in Northern Virginia and Los Angeles, California, using in flight monitors and a concierge service to reinforce its "More" campaign message.

CARSPAZE is a patented advertising platform using materials developed in Europe including recycledprinted panels, crushed tires and low energy recyclable lighting - eco friendly materials that do NOT end up in landfill unlike so many other types of billboard advertising. These materials are also fireretardant so for the first time, advertisers can create large-scale installations in the strictly regulatedparking garage environment. "We are minimizing our impact on the environment while providing acreative new way for advertisers to engage with consumers. We have transformed a grey concrete boxinto a large canvas for brands with incredibly high recall." said CARSPAZE's Jim Anstey, referring to Nielsen research findings of over 95% unaided recall after one hour.

JetBlue's installations are designed to bring alive the in-flight experience with seat back TV monitors(every third monitor is playing real TV content) all set in cloud-like environment. Each location will also have an on-site concierge assisting customers with shopping bags, providing mall information anddistributing in-flight snacks and drinks. "JetBlue is happy to be a part of this interesting new mediumthat has the potential to give back to the consumer. For our brand, this opportunity allowed us to bring to life the idea that JetBlue gives you more in a unique and engaging way not offered by traditionalmedia." - Fiona Morrisson, Director of Brand and Advertising.

The first two airline installations will be at the upscale shopping malls Macerich's Tysons Corner in Northern Virginia and Westfield Century City in Los Angeles. CARSPAZE provides these locations withan interesting new visual installation and adds to the customer experience. "Westfield is always lookingfor innovative ways to make the customer experience more memorable and enjoyable," says Westfield's Executive Vice President of Marketing, Alan Cohen. "The CARSPAZE platform will activate the parking facility with its eco-friendly materials and unique presentation of an exciting brand."CARSPAZE has partnerships in place with some of the largest operators of premium malls including,Westfield, Macerich and General Growth Properties. Future locations include high traffic lifestylelocations such as airports, sports stadiums and downtown office parking garages.

CARSPAZE is part of a growing marketing trend towards creating media and brand experiences atlife-centric locations. Mr. Anstey, Managing Director of CARSPAZE's US operations, developed thefirst "pop up store" for Delta Airlines in New York City in 2003, followed by pop up stores for clientssuch as Sharp, Motorola, Timex, Lexus, Target, Bravo and The Sci Fi Channel prior to coming to CARSPAZE USA, Inc.
