Demystifying Streaming TV (OTT/Programmatic Media) for Auto Dealerships
For decades, the dealership marketing playbook was simple: buy a 30-second spot during the 6 o'clock news and hope a few in-market shoppers were tuned in. That playbook has now changed completely. But look around your showroom today. The way your customers find their next vehicle and the way they consume media has changed.

The Role of Creative and a Full Media Mix
You've found a transparent media partner and you're measuring the right metrics. You're ready to dominate streaming TV.

3 Common Pitfalls in Streaming TV Advertising
Streaming TV is a powerful tool for auto dealers, but it's also a new and complex frontier. Uneducated providers can easily waste your budget on ineffective strategies and opaque reporting. To protect your investment, you must learn to spot the critical red flags. Here are three of the most common pitfalls to avoid.
Measuring Success and Avoiding Pitfalls in Streaming TV Ads
You’ve done it. You moved a significant portion of your marketing budget-say, $25,000 this month-from traditional TV and print into a sophisticated Streaming TV campaign. Your new digital marketing partner sends you the first report, and the numbers are huge: over one million impressions, thousands of completed views, and incredible reach across your entire market. You look at the report, then you look at your sales board, and you ask the single most important question: “Great… but did we sell any cars?”
The Future of Ad Measurement: What is a Data Clean Room?
You just invested $20,000 in a Streaming TV campaign. The ads looked great and reached thousands of households. But how many cars did that campaign actually sell? For years, answering that question involved a lot of guesswork. Not anymore. The solution is a revolutionary technology called a data clean room.
Your Dealership's Secret Weapon: Maximizing Your First-Party Data
Every single day, your dealership generates a massive amount of incredibly valuable information. Every car sold, every service appointment completed, and every lead form submitted contributes to a growing database. The critical question is: are you using this data, or is it just sitting in a server? Your dealership's own first-party data is your single most valuable and underutilized marketing asset.
The Amazon Advantage: Unlocking a Goldmine of Automotive Shopper Data
What if your dealership could know more about your potential customers than ever before? What if you knew not just that a household might be in the market for a new truck, but that they also recently bought a boat trailer and have a 2018 F-150 sitting in their driveway? This isn't science fiction; it's the reality of advertising with Amazon's unparalleled consumer data.
