Subaru of America kicks off its new “Work Play Love” Tour by bringing the all-new 2012 Impreza and fresh air therapy breaks to like-minded companies and their employees.
“Subaru is visiting companies that are recognized for having a positive work-life balance,” said Todd Lawrence, promotions and sponsorships manager, Subaru of America. “Our ‘Work Play Love’ tour is a recognition of those efforts and an invitation to come out and play.”
Subaru and active lifestyle partners such as KEEN Footwear, Yakima and Trek will make more than 50 fresh air therapy stops at various companies across the U.S.

“More and more people are looking for ways to achieve life-work balance,” said Rebecca Armstrong, principal and managing director at NORTH. “Subaru personifies outdoor play and, as such, is ideally positioned to serve this need.”
“Work Play Love” attendees can harness their inner adventurer by assuming one of three Impreza personas: The Balance Seeker, The Urbaneer and The Fresh Air Follower.

At the Workday Warrior Photo Booth, tour attendees can choose from the dozens of products, props – including fake mud and snow – and themed backdrops to create a unique, fun photo.
