2026 TRANSPONDER CAMPAIGN

THE CHALLENGE:
I-77 came to us with a simple insight: drivers are already using the Express Lanes. They just don’t realize they’re overpaying because they haven’t set up NC Quick Pass. We needed to show that the better option isn’t a different drive. It’s the same one, set up correctly.


THE SOLUTION:
We positioned NC Quick Pass as the difference between overpaying and not. Same road. Same route. Just a lower cost. No new habits. No new routes. Just paying what you should have been all along.

THE CHALLENGE:
I-77 Express had content, but it wasn’t building anything. No consistency. No momentum. Nothing people wanted to come back to. We needed to turn social into something that actually drives engagement.


THE SOLUTION:
We introduced trending content, templated traffic reports, and community-focused posts. Turning passive scrolling into real engagement.

THE CHALLENGE:
I-77 came to us with a simple insight: drivers didn’t realize they could be saving up to 50% on tolls. They just don’t realize they’re overpaying because they haven’t set up NC Quick Pass. We needed to show them that they could save money on their regular route simply by setting up NC Quick Pass account.


THE SOLUTION:
We positioned NC Quick Pass as the difference between overpaying and saving big. Same road. Same route. Just a lower cost.
