Exclusive Ground Transportation: Zipcar
It’s been nearly a decade since our founders sat in a café and decided to bring the European car-sharing idea to Cambridge, Massachusetts soil. Once the wheels were in motion, it was only a matter of time before some major changes helped grow a little car-sharing company into the world’s car-sharing leader. Today, thanks to cool technology, a member-driven user experience, and an amazing team of hands-on Zipcar enthusiasts, we are redefining the way this generation thinks about alternative transportation. We are redefining the way people think about transportation.
Car sharing seems like a simple enough idea, but there’s a reason that Zipcar has become the leader for cars on demand—we took a simple concept to new heights. It’s not just about less cars, less congestion and less pollution (though we’re not complaining), it’s about understanding why those things are a problem, and finding sustainable solutions. We’re idea people acknowledging that this is something bigger than all of us, something that can take over the world (literally) if we’re smart about it. And it’s not just a theory. We have the industry’s gold standard service, allowing our members 24/7 access to thousands of cars around the globe. We’re working daily to take things to the next level, and we’re not slowing down anytime soon.
We’re not horn tooters, more like ambassadors for change. Zipcar isn’t just about the concept of car sharing; it’s about the people who make it a reality: a team that works hard, members who believe, and organizations that are making conscious decisions for the future. We’re gonna keep doing what we’re doing, looking for ways to make car sharing easier, faster, and better. We’re not trying to rule the world, just trying to give regular people—young and old, business types and family types—the freedom to live life. We have a team that is dedicated, members who are loyal, and a world that is poised for change. It’s lofty, but we’re not stopping until a whole generation asks, “Congestion …? You mean allergies?” Yup, we think it will go that far.
Flying Dog Ales
Purposeful, provocative irreverence. These words echo through the brewery corridors. Purposeful in the pursuit of making bold, yet highly drinkable craft beers and provocative and irreverent in the way we view and communicate with the world around us.
Our provocative streak rears its misshaped head in a variety of forms: from the names of our brews, our labels, and of course our beers themselves, a few of which appear in the big gray book of ‘Beers and What They Should Look Like.’
As long as there are people in the world willing to jump the fence to walk their inner dog, Flying Dog will continue to be a thorn in convention’s side and we’ll be your purposeful, provocative and irreverent brewery.
