The digital ad industry is awash with talk about activating first-party data. But, we find that very few people have truly begun activating and addressing the data they have available. The delta between intention and action is generally a combination of accessibility and cost, onboarding, training and workflow.

LinkOne is a technology platform designed to simplify and optimize automotive digital marketing. Its value is to make sure each media dollar you spend improves the efficiency and accuracy of the next dollar. Dealers are investing money in impressions, and they should be getting return on that investment beyond just site traffic. Each flight informs users about the receptiveness and qualification of the target consumer. Investment in media buys should also be an investment in information.

“LinkOne is an amazing platform that focuses on fast deployment leveraging key first-party data sets to help your media dollars work harder to sell more cars.“
Brian Schrader
