Driving Automotive Sales with Precision: Strategus and Experian Automotive Case Study

by Kirsten Von Busch 2 min read June 4, 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive marketing, insight and measurement are paramount. Recognizing this, Strategus and Experian Automotive have joined forces to help improve digital automotive marketing campaign measurement.

The Challenge

The case study unfolds against a backdrop familiar to many advertisers: a regional advertising agency representing an OEM sought to evaluate the performance of their CTV automotive marketing campaign. Their objectives were clear:

  • Assess digital and TV campaign performance, attributing actual vehicle sales accurately.
  • Pinpoint top-performing audience segments and offers, factoring in demographic and psychographic variations.
  • Adapt marketing strategy based on real-time campaign performance metrics.

The Solution

Strategus took the helm, leveraging Experian’s OmniImpact for Automotive solution to navigate these goals. They crafted a programmatic campaign targeting previous buyers of a specific vehicle model within a targeted geographic region. Through CTV advertising, they heightened awareness among the targeted audience, ensuring maximum engagement.

Joel Cox, co-founder and EVP of Innovation and Strategy at Strategus summarizes the value of this collaboration perfectly:

“Strategus is thrilled to collaborate with Experian to offer this novel auto sales attribution solution. While we know the positive influence CTV advertising can play in driving auto sales, the measurement and attribution of those sales can be a murky and incongruent snapshot heavily reliant on assumption and incomplete first-party datasets. While Experian’s OmniImpact for Automotive campaign measurement solution has been available to the largest auto advertisers, this relationship between Strategus and Experian Automotive democratizes this comprehensive measurement solution to all auto-selling clients of Strategus, regardless of size or sales volume.”

By combining innovative strategies with advanced analytics, advertisers can not only measure campaign performance accurately but also adapt in real-time to maximize impact. As automotive marketing continues to evolve, relationships such as these that prioritize precision and insight will undoubtedly shape the industry’s future.

Electric Vehicle Registrations Are Growing Beyond Traditional Locations

For years, most electric vehicle (EV) adoption has been concentrated in California, New York, and other traditional early-adopter markets. And while those markets still lead the nation in total registrations, as of last year, some of the fastest-growing EV markets are in regions that haven’t played a significant role in the past. According to Experian Automotive’s 2025 EV Year in Review Report, EV adoptions seem to be entering a new phase that is spreading well beyond coastal strongholds. In fact, the top designated market areas (DMAs) that saw the fastest year-over-year growth for new retail individual EV registrations in the last five years were Detroit, MI (34.5%), Naples, FL (32.6%), Atlanta, GA (20.6%), Buffalo, NY (18.7%), and Charlotte, NC (17.3%). However, despite the growing demand in these market areas over the last few years, Los Angeles, CA still holds a strong lead in new retail individual EV registrations, with over 164,000 new adopters in 2025. Rounding out the top five were San Francisco, CA (85,000+), New York, NY (78,000+), Miami, FL (45,000+), and Seattle, WA (35,000+). EV adoption expanding well beyond the early-adopter markets could be a result of charging infrastructure growth, vehicle availability improvement, and consumer interest reaching new levels across the country. What does this mean for dealers? The extension of EV adoption into emerging markets signals that these vehicles are becoming a mainstream consideration for more consumers. As dealers look for ways to grow their presence in this segment, adopting marketing strategies, service operations, and inventory planning will be beneficial to meet changing buyer expectations and capitalize on the growing demand. The biggest takeaway isn’t necessarily which markets are selling the most EVs, it’s seemingly where adoption is gaining momentum. As new regions start to embrace these vehicles, it’ll be important to monitor the next phase of growth and where future opportunities may emerge.
