Rocket Fuel Powers Unified Digital Advertising Solution for Automotive Industry
Auto Booster Ad Technology Platform Integrates Brand and Direct Response Campaigns to Integrate Traditionally Isolated Advertising Efforts for Maximum ROI
(firmenpresse) - REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/12/11 -- Rocket Fuel Inc. (rocketfuel.com), the leading real-time ad targeting company, today officially launched (SM), a transformative technology platform that boosts the efficiency and effectiveness of brand and direct response campaigns for the automotive industry. Rocket Fuel announced the new technology platform today at the , taking place October 12-13 in Las Vegas.
Auto Booster helps automotive marketers connect brand advertising efforts with direct response campaigns -- so all digital campaigns are jointly optimized to maximize both long-term national brand impact and localized campaign-attributed sales.
Auto Booster optimizes results at every level of the funnel by collecting and analyzing synchronized learnings and data from multiple types of campaigns. No longer do auto marketers have to use proxy metrics such as click-through rate (CTR) to understand the value of branding or consideration efforts. Auto Booster can optimize digital media -- in real-time, as the campaign is running -- to deliver the greatest boost in awareness, consideration, purchase intent, or any other brand goal. As the only solution of its kind available on the market, Auto Booster provides automotive marketers with increased effectiveness and scale -- as well as cost savings.
: Automotive marketers face many challenges in uniting their digital brand and direct response campaigns, including wasted budgets, cross-agency mis-coordination, buying inefficiencies, ineffective targeting, optimization against the wrong metrics, and fleeting campaigns that do not inform and guide subsequent efforts. Because of the pressure to focus on immediate campaign results both at the national brand level and at the local sales level, most automotive campaigns running today fail to exploit natural cross-campaign synergies. In addition, many campaigns are run on a one-off basis, causing a huge loss of data across channels and time.
With Auto Booster, marketers' brand and direct response campaigns automatically learn from and inform each other, so marketers can efficiently and effectively target buyers at the right time and in the right place in the purchase funnel. Additionally, each campaign is automatically optimized to the right metric -- whether branding or direct response -- in real-time, and can run simultaneously on online display, video, and mobile channels.
: Currently, in-market car buyers are exposed to numerous, uncoordinated messages during the purchase cycle, including brand- and model-specific campaigns, as well as regional sales events, promotions and limited-time offers. Auto Booster solves this problem for car buyers, presenting them with the appropriate ads at the right time in the car research and buying process based on their real-time behavior and needs. In-market buyers see different campaigns than "research" buyers, while many customers see locally-targeted ads as well as national ones.

"Rocket Fuel Auto Booster cures the schizophrenia that has been forced on automotive campaigns by current-generation digital media systems," says Gene Cameron, recently Vice President of Media/Marketing Solutions at J.D. Power and Associates. "It breaks down the silos and joins brand awareness and consideration with purchase intent in a coordinated way to bring prospects through the purchase funnel, personalized to their attitudes and shopping stage. Rocket Fuel helps consumers get the information they need, enables marketers to build demand, and brings in-market shoppers into dealerships at a lower cost."
"Today's announcement of Auto Booster marks a first for automotive marketers. Rocket Fuel provides the tools necessary to run unified campaigns that -- for the first time -- are designed specifically to address every goal, from national brand awareness to local dealership sales," said , President and Co-Founder of Rocket Fuel.
