Volkswagen Drives Engaging Ad Campaigns With Saepio
Saepio's Solution Provides Volkswagen Dealers with Customizable Advertising Templates to Ensure Quality Campaigns Across America
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Saepio, a leading provider of marketing technology for corporations with distributed marketing networks, announced today that it has been selected by Volkswagen of America, Inc (VWoA) to provide localized marketing capabilities for its nearly 600 dealers nationwide. VWoA will implement Saepio's robust ad builder platform to provide corporate approved advertising templates that give dealers the ability to make their own.
VWoA's aggressive growth plans in the U.S. market are supported by the upcoming launch of the next generation Jetta, Beetle and a new midsize sedan. In order to support this aggressive growth plan, VWoA has revamped its dealer marketing programs. Key elements of these new programs include state-of-the-art marketing asset management and ad builder tools, which give dealers the ability to create traditional and digital advertising assets. VWoA's implementation of Saepio's technology will serve as the new backbone of its "VW Ad Lab" and streamline the advertising processes for dealers.
"As we revamped our Ad Lab, we sought a visionary technology partner that not only provides a state of the art tool today, but has the future vision and technology roadmap to continue to provide industry-leading advertisement creating capabilities to grow with us well into the future," said Steve Neder, General Manager of Retail Marketing at VWoA. "Our enhanced 'VW Ad Lab' needs a user interface that our dealers will want to use, and that creates localized ad campaigns on the same level as the national campaigns we are known for. Through our extensive search for a new partner we found Saepio is the only marketing technology provider that can bring us that result."
In addition to localizing ad campaigns, each dealer will be able to quickly edit and update corporate print, TV, radio, digital, direct marketing and experiential marketing assets. The opportunity to quickly customize ads gives dealers the ability to quickly turn around last minute advertising opportunities in local advertising mediums.
"We look forward to working so closely with an iconic company, Volkswagen, to help grow its operation," said John Thomson, CEO and president of Saepio. "Volkswagen is a true marketing visionary, and we're excited to be its partner as it enters new channels and creates new experiences for its customers."
