Presented by Clarivoy

This workshop will guide automotive dealers and marketers through the crucial role of multi-touch attribution and the power of first-party data in modern automotive retail. By uncovering the hidden journey of anonymous shoppers—who make up 90% of car buyers—participants will learn how failing to properly track and utilize this data leads to lost sales and wasted marketing spend.

Today’s multiscreen media landscape can be a quagmire for auto marketers. The constant churn and overwhelming choice for auto intenders of where to spend time viewing content are making it difficult for campaigns to reach a critical mass of consumers. By focusing on outcomes, following data, and reaching auto intenders where they spend their time, you can harness the chaos into ROI.
