“By leveraging eXelate–s real-time auto measurement solution, we were able to demonstrate a 14x+ lift in vehicle sales from OEM campaigns that ran on CarsDirect.com and TheCarConnection.com,” commented Chuck Hoover, CMO of Internet Brands Automotive. “Unlike brand studies that are issued three to six months after a campaign has run, this tool helps to maximize the value of our audience for automotive advertisers while the campaign is running.”
As the auto industry–s advertising spend soars into the billions of dollars each year and digital campaigns continue to gain importance, auto marketers are tasked with tracking whether those dollars are effectively reaching target audiences and leading to automotive purchases. With so much at stake, timely and comprehensive campaign analysis is a must-have for driving ROI.
In the December, 2014 report, “The Future of Digital Media Buying,” Forrester Research, Inc. senior analyst Richard Joyce writes, “One of the biggest challenges that marketers have faced with digital is the ability to track offline activity back to digital campaigns.”
The report also notes that marketers “will rely on technology partners that can solve for the cross-device challenge and connect the dots between online and offline metrics.”
eXelate–s provides a real-time, closed-loop feedback dashboard for tracking where customers are in the consideration funnel so marketers can adjust and optimize campaigns while they–re happening. Through a user-friendly interface, auto marketers gain access to:

Real-time feedback and deep-in-market insights that reveal where consumers are in the consideration funnel; and
Audience profiles, geographic and segment data for analyzing which models are being cross-shopped.
“A first in the history of auto advertising, eXelate–s solution enables auto marketers to home in on consumers considering cars throughout the purchase funnel, and offers data on people who bought cars, all in real-time,” said , global chief strategy officer of eXelate. “Until now, such insights had to be pieced together from multiple providers, and the auto buying information is typically not available until months later.”
“Automakers are looking for a way to link their offline sales to their digital marketing efforts across channels,” said Arianne Walker, senior director, media & marketing solutions, global automotive division, J.D. Power. “Our O2O service does just that, directly linking online shopping behavior to offline vehicle purchases.
