AutoGrowl Expands Operations to Guide Dealerships Through the Digital Shift in 2025
AutoGrowl, a leading automotive marketing agency specializing in digital solutions, has announced the expansion of its services to meet the growing demand for innovative advertising strategies in the rapidly evolving automotive industry. With traditional media continuing to decline, AutoGrowl is positioning itself as a critical partner for dealerships looking to adapt, remain competitive, and thrive in 2025’s increasingly digital landscape.
Founded in 2016 by Nicholas Schmidt and Ian Mathews, AutoGrowl has grown from a two-person operation to a nationally recognized marketing agency serving 42 dealerships across 15 states. Managing over $4.3 million annually in advertising spend across 5,400 campaigns, the company has earned a reputation for its client-focused approach, innovative strategies, and exceptional retention rates.
Addressing the Shift in Automotive Marketing
The automotive industry is witnessing a rapid shift from traditional advertising methods, such as print and radio, to highly targeted digital campaigns. Dealerships are navigating an influx of advertising platforms, emerging tools, and evolving consumer behaviors, all of which require expertise and precision to drive measurable results.
Nicholas Schmidt, Co-Founder and Creative Director of AutoGrowl, emphasized the growing need for smarter advertising strategies:
"As we move into 2025, dealerships face a critical challenge: staying ahead of the competition while adapting to the digital-first mindset of today’s customers. AutoGrowl focuses on ensuring our clients invest their advertising dollars where it matters most—reaching the right audience through the right channels.”
This expansion of AutoGrowl’s services is designed to provide dealerships of all sizes with customized, data-driven solutions. The company combines expertise in social media advertising, paid search, SEO, and creative services to ensure dealers maximize their reach and return on investment.
Innovative Solutions with a Creative Edge
While many marketing agencies rely on generic, automated advertising strategies, AutoGrowl sets itself apart with its focus on custom creative solutions. From visually engaging video ads to professional product photography and graphics, AutoGrowl ensures campaigns connect with target audiences in meaningful ways.
"We do creative differently," Ian Mathews, Co-Founder, added. “The automotive industry has seen too many cookie-cutter campaigns that fail to deliver real impact. Our team crafts compelling content and strategies that resonate with customers and reflect the values of our clients’ dealerships.”
By taking this approach, AutoGrowl provides dealerships with campaigns that not only increase visibility but also foster stronger relationships with customers, driving long-term growth.
Commitment to Long-Term Client Partnerships
AutoGrowl’s success lies in its commitment to building lasting partnerships with its clients. While the industry average client-agency relationship lasts just six months, AutoGrowl’s retention rate tells a different story. The company’s first clients have remained loyal for nearly nine years—a rare accomplishment in today’s competitive marketing landscape.
Jim Evans, President of Evans Dealer Group, praised AutoGrowl for its proactive and results-driven approach:
"AutoGrowl is not just another agency; they’re a true partner for all of my dealerships. Their proactive strategies and ability to hold teams accountable make a real difference in achieving growth and efficiency.”
With this expansion, AutoGrowl aims to bring its proven approach to more dealerships, helping them navigate the complexities of modern advertising and achieve sustained success.
Looking Ahead to 2025 and Beyond
The automotive advertising industry is set to grow exponentially as digital platforms continue to innovate. AutoGrowl’s expanded operations will allow the company to provide more dealerships with the tools and expertise needed to compete effectively. From social media campaigns on platforms like Facebook and Instagram to paid search strategies on Google Ads, AutoGrowl remains committed to delivering measurable results that drive dealership growth.
In recognition of its success, AutoGrowl was recently named Best Advertising Agency 2024 in Mason, Ohio, by BusinessRate.co—highlighting its leadership in the automotive marketing space.
As AutoGrowl continues to grow, the company remains focused on its mission: to help dealerships reclaim their time, optimize their advertising spend, and succeed in an increasingly digital world.
