From there, we establish a strategy that aligns your efforts, strengthens your message, and builds a dependable framework for growth.

Challenge the 'easy button' myth in marketing with our tailored customer acquisition marketing strategies. We prioritize niche, long-term approaches over massive ad spend, ensuring sustainable growth. Our founders, Mike Higgins, and Dave Hiebeler, oversee each campaign, offering unmatched commitment and expertise. Why us. We can tell you the wrong way to do things. When you have been fortunate to have long careers, you find out that experience and wisdom come not necessarily from all the wins but more from not getting what you wanted, when things go pear-shaped. We are very curious by nature and will challenge the assumptions you have. Marketing is F#@*ing hard . Everyone wants to hit the ‘easy button’; it’s the biggest lie in marketing. Google, Facebook, and big tech have sold this idea for over a decade. Huge short-term ad budgets won’t save your declining revenue trend. A niche process strategy to own your small patch over time will win the day. We start slow and cautious on strategy, and then we turn it up. Trial means you test theories on a smaller scale to confirm they are promising before you pour money into scaling your tactics. The trial process takes longer, but ‘slow and steady always wins the race.’ If you choose to own your patch then 'trial and s oak it' . We are very close to order fulfilment with staff stability. Your business receives the dedicated attention it deserves because Mike Higgins and Dave Hiebeler, the owners, also serve as your account managers. Unlike agencies with hundreds of accounts, we purposefully limit our clientele to a manageable load. We value a work-life balance just like you do. This deliberate approach ensures that each client benefits from our undivided focus and personal energy. In contrast to publicly traded large media entities, our philosophy allows us to stand out with a level of care, expertise, and media prowess that some of the larger shops struggle to match. Your business isn't lost in the shuffle. Founded in 2019, our agency is built on the fundamental belief that our clients deserve nothing less than our full attention to help them improve their business conditions.

This is usually where other websites jam in calls to action, like booking a call on their calendar or filling out a form field. We would, instead, rather have you think about and decide if our ideas resonate with you. If the next step is a discussion, then choose your preferred means. Contact Us

One of the ad agency principals told us they were looking for a cost-effective and creative way to get the word out quickly to create demand generation for a limited-time healthcare plan. "Open enrollment was approaching quickly for our customer which was a state government-sponsored health care plan for current and former government employees. The state told us we had six weeks to get the word out. At the time, we were looking for additional marketing channels for our agency to complement the local channels we already had intended to use in our marketing plan. We wanted something unique to present to our customer that would be a creative twist. Our other media in our plan gave broad coverage but needed specific targeting capabilities to reach current and former state employees like teachers, highway workers, and police."

This case study shows how a local ad agency helped a Lincoln dealer reach #1 in their region for sales volume in 6 months. Their customer acquisition marketing focused on broadcast email as a key strategy in local zip codes. MARKETING CASE STUDY: Automotive Vehicle Sales/Lincoln Dealership About our client . This locally owned Lincoln franchise dealer sells, services, repairs, and provides parts for new Lincoln automobiles (Lincoln Continental, Lincoln MKZ, Lincoln MKC, Lincoln Nautilus, Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Navigator, Certified Pre-Owned Lincolns, and other used automobiles to clients in their local metro community. They also perform warranty repairs and maintenance on all Ford vehicles. Not only do they compete with other Lincoln dealers in their market, they also compete with other brands in the luxury auto category. Results Client: Lincoln Metro Franchise Dealer Store. Location: Colorado, United States. Industry: Automotive Sales. Time Frame: 6-Month Campaign. CAMPAIGN REACH AND FREQUENCY MARKET SHARE RANK 1.2 MILLION EMAILS SENT 30 INDIVIDUAL AD CAMPAIGNS #1 IN SALES VOLUME WESTERN U.S. REGION FOR LINCOLN MARKET SHARE WORLDWIDE #1 IN LINCOLN BLACK LABEL SALES WORLDWIDE PEER GROUP Services used: Permission-Based Email Marketing. They had a market share problem. "Our market share was much lower than we thought we should be compared to our peer group. Lower rankings mean lower sales volumes. It is a vicious cycle because it trims decisions we can make about acquiring more new and used inventory, and it affects floor plan costs and our team size. Before we started this campaign with Align2Compete, our single-point luxury auto franchise was ranked #12 in sales volume in our Western United States Region for Lincoln franchise dealers. We needed to improve that. And our email strategy was ripe for change because our current large vendor was experiencing rep churn, and we were starting to feel a lack of love and attention from them." Vehicles on the lot too long cost dealers money. Our agency had a "Goliath" media competitor to beat first. We love talking with dealer principals and general managers because they live in a world of 'real retail' in the automotive business. Beating their local competition is vital. They work with several media vendors and agencies and expect a true partner to help them drive vehicle sales instead of generating vanity metrics. They expect their vendors to offer creative and cost-effective solutions as they should. This client couldn't care less that we had years of successful experience helping dealers sell vehicles on sites like Cars.com, email marketing platforms, and large daily newspapers. "If you can beat the big city daily team and meet our OEM rigid Co-op standards on a limited test of emails to local zip codes, then we will expand our media budget with you." 1 Automotive is an 'eat or be eaten' competitive category. Store General Managers need real results performance. 2 Identify and message to a custom audience from our proprietary database of luxury vehicle prospects. The key here is resolve and commitment to get in front of the right audience for those most apt to buy a Lincoln. We identified a handful of vital zip codes close to their store based on income, age, and lifestyle. We recommended that they send the emails out at 8am on Thursdays so that their weekends would have lot and showroom traffic momentum. We built the creative collaboration with this store's Marketing Director to make it appealing and attention-grabbing. We had to successfully get pre-approval from Lincon's OEM Co-op team each time before an ad could run. Their brand guidelines are among the most demanding in the auto industry. 3 Trial and soak your marketing message. Buying a $95,000 Lincoln Aviator vehicle isn't like choosing where to go out for dinner tonight. That is a lot of money, even if you are affluent and you have choices. Maybe you also like BMWs or Audis? There is risk involved in getting this right. Higher-risk purchasing decisions require the frequency of messages for a dealership's marketing. There are no 'one-and-dones'. The risk of a major purchase gets reduced for vehicle shoppers with solid research on what, when, and where to buy. These purchases take more time. Soaking a great audience with your message keeps your store top-of-mind. We started with an email cadence for this dealership of three times per month, sending out 50,000 to the same audience each time. They liked what was happening with email opens, clicks to the their vehicle detail pages and vehicle sales. Our budget grew with them quickly and after six months we were sending out eight email blasts per month with over 300,000 addresses reached. We were creatively soaking their patch because they decided they wanted to own it at the expense of their competition. They captured more market share and, with that, grew new and used vehicle sales volume. Weekly used vehicles specials emailed-out at 8am every Friday So given what you have just read, do you feel that your current marketing team and resources are fully aligned with your business objectives? Where do you see disconnects or areas for improvement? Our agency had this overall business impact on their store. 6-Month marketing campaign. 1.2 Million Emails Sent THEIR STORE IS THE PLACE TO BUY A LUXURY VEHICLE. 30 Unique Ad Campaigns TOLD THE LINCOLN BRAND STORY AND CREATED EXCITEMENT. #1 In Sales Volume WESTERN U.S. REGION FOR LINCOLN. #1 In The World For Lincoln Black Label Sales WOLDWIDE MARKET SHARE.
