Konrad Burchardt presents a situation analysis for Fox Rent a Car. Fox was founded in 1989 as a discount brand serving airports, but now has poor online presence and reputation. While it offers low prices and no fees for younger renters, its small fleet size limits opportunities. The analysis identifies improving Fox's social media strategy and online image as the key challenge to attract more of the target demographic of travelers aged 25-40 who are active online. A new digital strategy is proposed using multiple social media platforms to filter negative comments, provide better customer service, and change public perception to establish Fox as a great brand.
