INDUSTRY — AUTOMOTIVE

Automotive marketing in a market where the brand question is being asked again.

Combustion to EV, model generation to platform logic, dealer distribution to direct sales — the auto brand is in motion. We build brand work that serves test drives, configurations and repurchase alike.

Experience with automotive brands and dealer networks across DACH. References on request.

OUR THESIS

An auto brand isn't only decided in the showroom anymore — but not in the TVC either. It's decided in the configurator.

Online research, configurator sessions, test-drive booking — the customer journey has gone digital. Brand work has to shape this journey and serve the dealer network simultaneously.

INDUSTRY REALITIES
01

EV transition is a brand question, not a tech question.

Treating the transition only as a powertrain change loses brand position to new players. Brand work has to retell the brand story.

02

The configurator is the new showroom.

What doesn't work in the configurator doesn't reach the test drive. UX, performance branding and dealer integration are brand work.

03

The dealer network is brand carrier.

What the dealer doesn't understand doesn't sell. Dealer enablement is brand work, not a sales side-task.

04

Loyalty decides lifetime value.

First-time buyers cost a multiple of a repeat buyer. Loyalty marketing is today the most underrated lever in auto marketing.

KPIs WE STEER BY
Konfigurator-Conversion zu Test-Drive
How many configurations end in a test-drive booking? Marketing KPI #1 in the digital funnel.
Test-Drive-Conversion zu Bestellung
Per model, per dealer. Directly linked to brand strength and sales quality.
Brand-Consideration Set
Is the brand on the list when a purchase is coming? Correlates with long-term market share.
Repurchase-Rate
Who stays with the brand for the next car. Loyalty today is margin protection.

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED

Yes. We know the mechanics of configurator UX, dealer network and brand positioning in the EV transition.

Configurator-to-test-drive conversion, test-drive-to-order conversion and brand-consideration set. TVC reach alone is vanity.

Yes. Dealer enablement, local activation and co-op material are brand work, not a sales side-task.

As a brand question, not a powertrain question. We build brand stories that tell the transition credibly — keeping existing customers and winning new ones.

Who sells the next car got the last one right.
