PowerStop provides performance brake upgrade kits for trucking, towing, sport driving, and commuting automobiles. Although its Z26 brake kit is popular in the muscle car segment, it has gained little traction in the Ford Mustang category in North America. To penetrate the market, PowerStop partnered with CMB Automotive Marketing.
CMB Automotive Marketing developed the “Break the Beast” campaign, using landing pages, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, search engine optimization (SEO), retargeting, social media activation, influencer marketing, public relations, and content marketing. It also created product videos and provided event support.
Within four months, PowerStop increased demand in the Ford Mustang category and managed a successful customer engagement live event. It also achieved a click-through rate of over 15% from landing pages, click-through rate of 8% from email campaigns, and 3,500+ new followers on social channels.
Notable clients: Audi, BMW, General Motors, Maserati, Woodridge Ford Lincoln

The agency implemented A/B tests and analyzed the monthly results to find the most effective marketing messaging and creatives in driving leads and converting customers on Google Ads. It also used its Maximize Conversion strategy to drive conversion actions via forms, online chats, phone calls, and in-person visits.

A Honda dealer hired Omni Advertising to help target potential Honda buyers through display and video campaigns, aiming to influence their pre-purchase decisions.
Omni Advertising used Oracle Audience Solutions to collect and analyze consumer data from Polk Automotive Solutions and the car shopping website Edmunds. Then, it used the data to build custom model audiences for the client and study the competition. Lastly, the automotive digital marketing agency created highly targeted advertising campaigns through its Demand Slide Platform (DSP).
The Automotive Advertising Agency combines artificial innovation (AI) with automotive advertising to maximize return on income (ROI). It offers a full range of marketing solutions, including content management systems, graphic design, social media advertising, geofencing, video production, SEO, and PPC.
Car dealer Blake Fulenwider Automotive owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram (CDJR), Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC stores. However, it was struggling to grow and achieve consistent sales. To solve this, The Automotive Advertising Agency unified the client’s brand across its stores and created the tagline “Blake Fulenwider Puts You First!”. The agency also partnered with country music star Aaron Watson to resonate with the target customers, placing him in television commercials and website, advertising, and social media graphics.
Additionally, the automotive digital marketing agency strengthened the client’s online presence through competitor analysis, SEO, AI-powered SEM, reputation management, social media marketing, updated online directory listings, and campaign optimization.
As a result, the client increased:

A used car dealership approached MJS Advertising to help build its brand and advertising campaign. The agency came up with the name Q Auto, with the Q representing the needs of the client’s target audiences: “Quality, Quantity, and Quickly”. Then, it crafted the client’s brand kit, including the logo, tagline, apparel, the shop’s interior design, signage, and marketing and advertising strategies.

Team Lewis specializes in building campaigns for electric vehicles, autonomous driving, connected cars, and alternative mobility. Its services include public relations, crisis communications, market research, branding, marketing, social media marketing, SEO, and digital transformation.
Luxury electric vehicle (EV) brand Lucid Motors partnered with Team Lewis to expand its global reach, launch its new product Lucid Air, and drive pre-orders for the electric vehicle. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and Tesla’s launch forced the client to rethink its marketing.
Team Lewis built the “David and Goliath” strategy, in which Lucid Motors emphasized how it is working with Tesla to provide sustainable alternatives instead of directly competing with it. This helped the client leverage Tesla’s popularity in its marketing and advertising, including its virtual event “Dream Ahead”.
As a result, there were:
250,000 event attendees
2,102 published articles within the first 24 hours of launch
3,020 published global articles within a week of launch

DENSO, one of the largest global automotive suppliers, approached WayPoint Marketing Communications to optimize its recruiting process, streamline its hiring strategy, and refresh its marketing materials.
WayPoint Marketing created a cross-functional team with DENSO’s new hires, human resources, and communication department. This helped it understand what separates the client from competitors and its appeal to job seekers.
The automotive digital marketing agency developed talking points for recruiters, a content timeline for recruiting events, and a customizable template for each business location.

BMW approached Crated to help launch its first electric vehicle, the BMW ActiveE.

It also produced mobile and web apps that tracked users’ driving habits and showed data on how they could save time, money, and carbon dioxide emissions by switching to an electric vehicle. Lastly, it developed an iPad app for auto shows and car dealers, displaying the benefits and details of the client’s product and allowing users to apply for the car directly.
Within the first nine hours of the launch, BMW received twice as many buyer applicants as the available cars. Within two months, the BMW ActiveE sold out.

An automotive digital marketing agency helps automotive businesses promote their products and services, increase brand awareness, generate leads, and drive sales through online channels. It serves auto dealers, garages and repair shops, car parts manufacturers and distributors, and international brands.
Statista reports that the US automotive industry spent $12.42 billion on digital advertising in 2020, and it is expected to rise further as the sector continues to bounce back from the pandemic.
What do automotive digital marketing companies offer?
Automotive digital marketing companies offer digital marketing services tailored specifically to the automotive industry. These include:
Consumer research to understand the unique needs of your target audience
Competitive analysis to gain insights into your competition’s strengths and weaknesses
Search engine optimization (SEO) that optimizes your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant keywords, increasing organic traffic and visibility
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, creating and managing targeted advertising campaigns on platforms like Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, and Bing Ads to drive traffic and leads
Social media marketing to engage potential customers, build brand awareness, and drive website traffic
Content marketing to attract new buyers, establish authority, and improve search engine rankings through valuable and informative content, like blog posts, infographics, and white papers
Email marketing to nurture prospects and promote products and services by sending personalized emails
Digital public relations to improve and manage online reputation
Website development and design, building user-friendly and visually appealing automotive websites optimized for search engines and conversion, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices
How much do automotive digital marketing agencies charge for their services?
An automotive digital marketing agency charges an average of $400 to $10,000 per month. Plus, the top 50 automotive digital marketing companies on DesignRush charge an average of $106 per hour. 19.9% of the companies accept a minimum budget of under $1,000 for a project, and 0.2% accept a minimum of $50,000 per project.
The range of automotive digital marketing agency rates vary due to the following factors:
Your business competition: A highly competitive market requires more aggressive and potentially costly marketing efforts. For instance, marketing strategies for a car dealership in New York can be more expensive than in Wyoming, as the former has a highly competitive market.
Current marketing position: An automobile without an online presence needs more effort than a well-known automotive company like Ford.
Project scope: The more digital marketing services you need, the higher the automotive digital marketing cost.
Agency location: Automotive digital marketing agencies in Asia and Eastern Europe charge lower rates due to the standard cost of living compared to US and Canadian agencies.
Why should I hire an automotive digital marketing agency?
You should hire an automotive digital marketing agency because it has specialized industry expertise that can help your business increase brand visibility, the number of high-quality leads, conversion rate, and sales. It also helps your business develop marketing strategies that improve customer relationships and drive maximum return on investment (ROI).
1. Leverage automotive industry expertise
An automotive digital marketing agency specializes in your niche, target audience, and industry. Because of this, it knows how to highlight your product’s benefits and unique features to capture your desired audiences. Additionally, it knows the most profitable platforms for your business by staying up to date with the latest market and industry trends.
In contrast, a regular marketing agency will require extra time to study and understand all these details. It might also miss important information, like the right messaging for your campaign, leading to missed growth opportunities.
2. Get a higher return on investment
Based on the computation by Financial Models Lab, an automotive digital marketer’s salary is $50,000 - $150,000 a year. This doesn’t include the cost of onboarding and training, marketing tools and software, and technological equipment like a camera, mobile phone, and laptop.
On the other hand, an automotive digital marketing agency charges an average of $4,800 - $120,000 annually. Plus, it already has the experience, technology, and skills to achieve your marketing goals in a measurable and scalable manner. As such, you can make data-driven decisions that maximize your return on investment.
One such example is when the online store for Ukranian car accessories Autobaza approached Netpeak to reduce the cost of conversion and increase sales within a limited budget. The automotive digital marketing firm leveraged Google Ads and used the Shopping Campaigns and Smart Shopping Campaigns features. It focused on products with the highest sales results, developing individual campaigns for each.
As a result, Autobaza reduced overall costs by 47.34% and transaction costs by 73.91%. It also increased the number of transactions by 101.82%, income by 133.24%, and return on marketing investment by 772.54%.
3. Strengthen brand awareness
Up to 80% of customers search for a vehicle online. This means that your customer’s journey now starts online. And to be in front of their searches, you need to have a strong online presence.
While you can start building your brand presence with an in-house team, it can take longer than hiring an automotive digital marketing agency. An automotive digital marketing agency already has a streamlined and proven method to increase a brand’s presence online. Plus, it has a robust network of media partnerships that can help further strengthen your brand visibility and reputation.
Moreover, automotive digital marketing agencies can tailor their services to your specific local or international audience.
Take AGA Truck Parts as an example. The client supplies heavy equipment and trucking parts worldwide, but it needed a website that targeted its international clientele and showcased its products. SmartSites conducted thorough industry research, showcased featured product lines, designed and developed an industrially centered website, and translated it into four languages.
Through these efforts, SmartSites increased organic search traffic by 1,057% and total site traffic by 685%.
4. Increase qualified leads, conversion rates, and sales
Although most consumers are online, not all will fit your ideal buyer profile. Automotive digital marketing firms make sure to target the leads with a higher chance of buying from your brand by developing strategies based on thorough research, market segmentation, and profiling. This allows it to select the right channels, methods, and audiences to target, driving qualified traffic to your online profiles and physical stores.
Once the agency captures high-quality traffic, it will implement targeted marketing, lead nurturing, and conversion rate optimization strategies. It will also optimize your landing pages and call-to-actions in all your content. This will ensure that leads convert into customers despite a highly competitive market.
5. Improve customer relationships
With consumers spending at least 14 hours on average searching for a vehicle, online presence is crucial to developing customer relationships. However, doing this can be resource-heavy and time-consuming, especially for small automotive businesses.
An automotive digital marketing agency can help nurture your customer relationships by providing an omnichannel experience via social media, website, email, and other marketing channels. It can also enhance your customer’s experience by optimizing your website, creating mobile-friendly content, and crafting highly engaging videos for both traditional and online marketing.
Plus, the agency can help you develop customer loyalty programs to further increase customer lifetime value.
A good way to illustrate this is when BMW partnered with Crafted for the “Joy is BMW” campaign. The agency developed a homepage takeover for the client on MSN and slate.com. Each channel had its own set of unique interactive and dynamic content tailored to its specific type of audience. Some of these include an iPhone app that allows the user to control a BMW like a paintbrush and a web app that lets users build their own BMW.
As a result, BMW increased site traffic by 41% from Slate and site traffic by 37% from MSN. It also reached over 800,000 site visitors during the campaign.
How do I find the best automotive digital agency for my business?
You can find the best automotive digital marketing agency for your business by following these steps:
Define your project scope: Identify your marketing goal and long-term business objective by hiring an automotive digital marketing agency.
Set your budget: Understand the average rates for each type of service, correlate rates with agency location, and run an internal audit focusing on your digital marketing goals and expected return on investment.
Do your research: Check if the agency has been featured and recognized for its automotive digital marketing projects. Read reviews, testimonials, case studies, and awards.
Assess its expertise: Look for companies that have delivered tangible results using their automotive digital marketing strategies. Focus on those experienced in working with your specific audience and niche.
Study its tech and software: Understand which marketing tools are compatible with your current marketing strategies and channels. Look also for certifications, like Google Partner and Meta Business Certified Agency.
Send a request for proposal (RFP): Create a brief covering target audiences, marketing goals, marketing channels, budget range, and timeline. Send this with your RFP.
Conduct an interview: Focus on culture fit, management style, business ethics, and overall corporate culture. Also, determine how the agency explains its plan for your business — this will tell you its level of expertise and familiarity with your industry.
Choose your agency: Prioritize the company that best aligns with your specific needs, goals, and values. Choose one that is data-driven, transparent, professional, and responsive. Also, discuss pricing and contract terms as well as project management style.
Onboard your chosen partner: Determine the agency's access to your online channels and give it the necessary login credentials.
