Our Partners

What You Get

AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTISE

Our team has been working in the automotive space for nearly a decade, and we understand this industry well. We also pride ourselves on communicating actionable ways to help grow your quality leads and dealership sales. You can’t manage what you don’t measure–or understand. We don’t expect you to know everything about what we do, you know your dealership better than we ever will, and together we will deliver results. Our team will provide analytics training and detailed reporting to help you understand your dealership’s performance better. This also provides you with the “tools” to combat the daily annoyance of companies trying to sell to you! Anything marketing-related that you don’t want to handle, you can direct to us. With your own dedicated project management team and our real-time insights, together, we can make more informed decisions and adjust strategies to optimize outcomes.

EXPERIENCE

With more than 15 years of experience in the digital marketing space, along with over 8 years in the automotive space, we bring a wealth of knowledge and a winning track record to the table. Our team is dedicated to staying ahead of industry trends to ensure your dealership remains competitive.

We also understand the co-op space and have been able to help our dealers take full advantage of all the OEM co-op funds available!

PRICING TRANSPARENCY (FLAT RATES - NO COMMISSION)

We uphold a policy of full transparency by charging a flat monthly fee for our services, with no commission on your ad spend. While many OEM-preferred vendors impose both a management fee and a commission, we ensure straightforward pricing with no hidden costs.

QUALITY CREATIVE

We pride ourselves in giving you the best graphic design services on the market (and at an affordable price). We ensure all creative, whether for your website, social media, or offline endeavors, is of the highest quality. Unlike the creative seen from OEM-approved vendors and manufacturers, we never resort to delivering cookie-cutter content. Our team personalizes every aspect to match your dealership’s brand & where the graphics are being displayed.

Á LA CARTE PRICING OPTIONS

Our pricing allows you to choose and pay for only the services you need. This flexible approach to marketing services empowers you to prioritize and invest wisely. We will never pigeonhole you into services that you don’t need just to get a better deal.

OWNERSHIP OF DATA AND ACCOUNTS

Never lose access to your digital accounts again! With us, you retain full control and ownership of all data and deliverables, ensuring a truly personalized experience. Complete ownership of Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google My Business (GMB), login credentials, content, and creative assets across all platforms ensures you have complete control and autonomy over our work for you.

PROACTIVE REPORTING & ANALYTICS

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Instead of providing your metrics after the fact, we provide regular analytics and make real-time adjustments to your campaigns. This strategy allows us to be proactive and transparent with your marketing, fine-tuning areas that aren’t performing while keeping you in the know.

MEASURABLE, ACTIONABLE RESULTS

We prioritize accountability by providing tangible proof of all work performed, a practice that sets us apart in an industry where transparency is not commonly practiced. For example, we use dynamic inventory ads in paid search, display, and social to help you generate more quality leads and sales. By tailoring our strategies to what you actually have in stock, and your sales goals, we drive tangible results that contribute to your dealership’s growth.

UNPARALLELED CUSTOMER SERVICE

At McIvor Marketing, we believe customer service is about allowing you as much control and autonomy over your dealership as possible while providing you the resources to succeed. We are committed to delivering exceptional customer service and ensuring transparent communication during every step. Our team is always available to support you, answer your questions, and ensure that your marketing efforts are on track to achieve your goals.

OTT/CTV Advertising / Streaming TV

As consumers cut the cord and switch to streaming TV services, OTT (over the top) television has assumed a massive role in the modern automotive marketing mix, helping dealers target consumers directly with ads they can’t skip.

At McIvor Marketing, we utilize OTT video advertising to tailor ads to specific audience segments based on factors like location, demographics, viewing interests, search histories, and shopping behaviors. This precision targeting helps us maximize the impact and ROI of your ad spend.

Co-Op Submission

Simplify the process of claiming co-op funds for your marketing efforts. Dealers that leverage co-op programs often outspend and out-market their competition. Allow McIvor Marketing to submit co-op on your behalf to take full advantage of the money you deserve!

We will work hard to secure the maximum co-op dollars, and design co-op-compliant ad creative, PPC/Social/Display Ads and more tailored to OEM guidelines and your target market. And nothing we do is cookie cutter (unlike some OEM approved vendors you may have worked with).
