What has 25 years of building pre-owned sales taught us?

When we started with CarSense, it was nothing but a concept. A little over two decades later, it was large and attractive enough to be acquired by Penske – one of the nation’s largest auto retailers.

What part did our creative and media placement skills play on the road to success? We can’t tell you all the twists and turns. But we can tell you a bit about what we learned about building successful brands. And about how a combination of two of the Philadelphia area’s most accomplished agencies might work their magic for you.

Our work doesn’t look or sound like anyone else’s.

Outstanding work means standing out, creatively and strategically. But a good ad doesn’t just draw attention to itself, it illuminates the brilliance of the brand or product it promotes. While our award-winning creative has drawn plenty of attention over the years, it has been effective because it reveals truths about the product.

Uncommon dealership. Unconventional creative work.

Creating an emotional connection.

Advertising is rooted in a human connection. It’s about what the product can do for you more than the product itself.

Making it memorable.

Memorable ad executions are just a vehicle to make customers retain important proaduct and brand differentiators.

Sometimes communication goes beyond words.

Visuals are key to memorable creative. When it comes to copy, sometimes less is more.

Everyone wants to think big picture. But one of the keys to successful brand building is sweating every detail – from banner ads on your mobile device to pop-up banners in the showroom. From traditional to digital to every little thing, the goal is to create communication with a consistent tone so the brand feels like a familiar friend wherever it’s encountered.
