Automotive Industry 

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving, customers preferences and buyer behaviour has significantly changed. New entrants offer different buying processes and customer are well informed and know what they want. What is consistent is the customers desire for a personalised, frictionless, trusted relationship when buying a major purchase like an automotive.

Traditional players in the buying process – OBM (manufacturers), publishers for awareness, dealers (point of purchase) and maintenance – has been fragmented and a challenge to synchronise and attribute the value of the sale.  

Digital technologies have transformed the way customers research, purchase, and interact with automotive brands. Meeting customer expectations for seamless online experiences, personalized services, and digital interactions throughout the ownership lifecycle is a continuous challenge.

This has resulted in an increase focus on first-party data collection and using this to power personalisation, optimise marketing and attribute the sale.

Cross-domain attribution
