Case Study: Global Enterprise Management for the World’s Largest Car Rental Portfolio

​

The Challenge: Unified Strategy for a $30B+ Global Powerhouse

Fifty & Five was selected as the strategic digital partner for Enterprise Holdings, providing comprehensive, full-funnel management for Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent A Car. The objective was to maintain brand distinction across three separate identities while managing a global conversation across domestic and international territories.

​

The Strategic Solution: A Global Command Center

Our approach utilized a high-velocity "Command Center" model, integrating localized content with massive-scale data monitoring:

1. Multilingual Global Content Architecture

We architected and executed distinct content strategies tailored to the unique value proposition of each brand.

• Cultural Localization: Beyond simple translation, we provided expert Spanish-language copywriting and creative direction to engage diverse audiences across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

• Brand Differentiation: We maintained the "premium/business" positioning of National, the "value/leisure" focus of Alamo, and the "community/service" heritage of Enterprise within a single unified social workflow.

2. High-Intent Social Listening & Lead Acquisition

Leveraging advanced social listening tools, we moved from passive posting to active intercept marketing.

• Precision Targeting: Identified thousands of high-intent travelers on Facebook, X (Twitter), and Instagram by analyzing real-time travel signals.

• Conversion Driving: Deployed hyper-targeted campaigns that intercepted users in the planning phase, converting social discovery into verified rental bookings.

3. Enterprise-Scale Customer Care (50,000+ Daily Interactions)

Fifty & Five managed one of the largest customer care volumes in the travel industry.

• Massive-Scale Monitoring: Our team tracked and responded to over 50,000 daily comments, inquiries, and mentions.

• World-Class Response Times: We transformed social media into a real-time help desk, ensuring that global travelers received 24/7 support, thereby increasing brand sentiment and Net Promoter Scores (NPS).

4. Crisis Leadership & Pandemic Resilience

During the 2020 global travel shutdown, Enterprise Holdings trusted Fifty & Five to lead their digital crisis response.

• Strategic Pivot: We transitioned the brand narrative from "travel now" to the "Complete Clean Starter" and "Standard of Care" safety protocols.

• Adaptive Guidance: Provided steady-handed crisis management that maintained customer trust and brand equity during the most turbulent period in aviation and travel history.

​

The Result: Unrivaled Reliability at Scale

When the world stopped traveling, the world's largest rental company trusted Fifty & Five to keep the conversation going. Our partnership proved that we could manage global complexity and extreme volume without sacrificing the human touch that defines the Enterprise brand.
