Conversation cards foster meaningful connections by encouraging discussions that go beyond the surface level, prompting automotive brand Kelley Blue Book to design a set specifically to help families transform car rides into opportunities for engagement.
Kelley Blue Book recently assembled its list of the Best Family Cars of 2024 and to bring awareness to it, the Cox Automotive brand teamed up with actress, producer and entrepreneur JoAnna Garcia Swisher and her husband, World Series Champion and All-Star Nick Swisher, to turn their family vehicle into the ultimate "Car-fessional" talk box. While riding their family car, the husband-and-wife team will talk about everything from favorite pastimes to awkward conversations and what makes their family unique.
Kelley Blue Book's Instagram is the place to download copies of the "Car-fessional" cards.
