BURLINGTON, Vt., June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dealer.com was named the Bing Growth Hacker of the Year, recognizing the company's continued investment in engineering initiatives throughout the year to strengthen its connectivity and ability to grow successful advertising campaigns with Bing.
Leveraging its powerful advertising platform, built for scalability, Dealer.com included Bing in the media plan for one of its largest OEM partners. As a result, Dealer.com helped bring thousands of new advertisers to the Bing search network and utilized its adverting solution's technological advances to ensure its clients were positioned for optimal success. This campaign effectively helped dealers across the country expand their reach through the exclusive audience they can reach through Bing's search network.
"Innovation, partnership, and positively influencing the automotive car searching and buying landscape have been the core of Dealer.com's culture for twenty years," Chris Smith, associate vice president of Enterprise Media Sales for Dealer.com. "This award is a credit to the work of our engineers and digital strategists working closely with Bing to provide effective advertising solutions for our clients."
In 2017, Dealer.com also implemented organization-wide business rules to include Bing as part of the recommended media plan for new advertising client launches. These new business rules, which included Dealer.com's successful OEM initiative, helped increase the number of active Bing advertisers 132 percent over the previous year.
"We are pleased to recognize Dealer.com as the Bing Growth Hacker of the Year," said Steve Sirich, general manager of Bing Ads. "Our partnership has allowed Bing to build lasting relationships with Dealer.com's OEM partners, providing a unique opportunity to utilize Bing's network to reach car buyers."
