1 [AUTOMOTIVE MEDIA PARTNERS, LLC ADVERTISING PROGRAM] 1 Automotive Digital Marketing (ADM) and dealerelite (de) Advertising Programs Why should your marketing strategy include Automotive Media Partners? Since the beginning of 2008 the emergence of online networks and communities that cater to people working in the auto industry has transformed the way knowledge, insights and awareness of the best management strategies, tools and tactics are spread throughout our professional population. Starting with a vision that included the mission of informing and inspiring the success of people working in the business they had grown to love, Ralph Paglia, Chris Saraceno and Mike Myers have worked diligently to provide multiple platforms that attract, engage, inform, connect and have inspired hundreds of automotive success stories across North America. The ADM and DealerElite professional networks have become two of the most powerful communication platforms in the automotive industry across both the OEM and retail levels. Combined with highly accurate databases, affiliated sites, networks and social media syndication methods, the consortium of publications represented by Automotive Media Partners is the single best way for marketing communications to become the buzz and tribal knowledge which drives so many decisions being made by key individuals in the auto industry today. Why advertise with AutomotiveDigitalMarketing.com? The Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community (ADM) has been the established leader in its segment since With over 20,000 Unique Visitors from within the automotive industry each month, there is no other site that commands the attention of dealers, managers and automotive marketing professionals the way the ADM Professional Community does. This is the online network used for the dissemination of automotive marketing best practices by more people in the car business than any other professional network.
