Car Brands Are Starting to Get the Marketing Data They've Always Wanted

The car industry isn't slowing down when it comes to employing more data for everything from vehicle malfunctions to marketing. In fact, in terms of digital advertising, the category looks like it's putting the pedal to the metal, as tech vendors, publishers and other players increasingly roll out new offerings to attract automotive ad buyers who are demanding better results.  For instance, data cloud company eXelate today is debuting measurement software that's designed to exhibit when digital promos produce actual car sales, giving an auto advertiser a clearer sense of return on investment. It generally affords a long view of what marketers call the "purchase funnel," while allowing them to both review a campaign's performance and quickly tweak how the effort targets consumers.  The system looks at how car shoppers visit automotive websites, compare makes and models, and browse articles about new vehicles.

Finally, the software pulls in dealer sales data—thanks to a partnership with J.D. Power—to measure how transactions were completed offline. These streams of data are the lifeblood of a program that aims to help brand marketers serve the right kinds of ads, while offering post-campaign analysis as well. The eXelate-J.D. Power tandem effort has similarities to the offline-online aims of Facebook and... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
