AdAgencyOnline.Net

Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., (AAOL), is a full service automotive advertising agency. AAOL developed a proprietary online communication / distribution system to leverage the resources of their national network of independent affiliated automotive advertising agencies, production partners and select vendors to serve their auto dealership and vendor clients. In December of 2001 AAOL extended their Internet presence and services to their clients by developing a free automotive advertising resource / networking portal – http://adagencyonline.net – that hosts an online blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time. The site and blog talk radio station focus on common problems experienced by a struggling auto industry in a problem / solution format. Their goal is to share best practices with site visitors with the philosophy that a “rising tide floats all boats.”

Philip Zelinger, the President of AAOL and host of WAAOL’s blog talk radio shows, has recently referenced a new auto industry focused social networking site being developed for a vendor client of AAOL – EveryCarListed.Com, (ECL). ECL is also a “preferred automotive advertising vendor” on AdAgencyOnline.Net and Philip is a regular contributor to the blog site currently hosted on ECL, http://blog.everycarlisted.com/ . The new “network of networkers” planned by ECL will be titled “Auto Industry Insights”, (AII), and it will supplement the blogs and industry issues discussed on the internal ECL blog site. The auto industry focused platform will draw on a diverse group of recognized auto industry experts and their established online communities.

About Auto Industry Insights

Auto Industry Insights will be an open forum for the auto industry headed by an advisory panel made up of established automotive advertising insiders and supported by their existing auto industry social networking/blogging sites. The panel and contributing online communities includes; ADM – hosted by Ralph Paglia, www.DealerRefresh.Com – hosted by Jeff Kershner, www.DrivingsSales.Com – hosted by Jared Hamilton, http://imacsweb.typepad.com/ – hosted by Gary May, http://www.scottmonty.com/ – hosted by Scott Monty, www.askpatty.com – hosted by Jody Devere and http://adagencyonline.net hosted by Philip Zelinger.

The portal is being developed as a consumer/dealer/consultant facing social networking site supported by – www.everycarlisted.com (ECL) – an auto industry inventory website that will be driving traffic to the networking community through existing strategic partnerships as well as both conventional and online marketing investments. The concept is to establish a “network of networkers” with a priority on content sourced from auto industry consultants, auto dealers that have their own blogging forums and even consumers that have registered with ECL. The site will be promoted to share “best practices” and real world experiences.

The official launch of AII is hoped to coincide with the 6^th Digital Dealer Conference being held at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas from April 19, 2009 to April 21, 2009, however, the exact date has yet to be announced. According to Philip Zelinger, “AII is a collaboration of a group of qualified professionals who will be contributing their knowledge and relationships to this common effort to advance Internet marketing. It is a project that can’t be rushed, and social networking sites are not commercial ventures so we have no reason to do so. Our goal is to share best practices and develop an online community of likeminded automotive advertising professionals and auto dealers who will follow AII to listen and learn so they can presume to teach. Consumers will share their experiences before, during and after their shopping or servicing experience in both the real and the virtual world and all parties will benefit from their input. I will confirm that we are past the developmental stage and we are now focusing on drawing content from a variety of sources. This will be an ongoing effort so, technically, we will never be done! Of course, the 6^th Digital Dealer Conference would be a great place and time to start so that is our objective.”

Automotive advertising agencies, auto dealers, vendors and auto industry insiders that would like to contribute articles to AII can visit http://adagencyonline.net for additional information, they can contact Philip Zelinger directly at 1-888-796-2228 or email him at pzads@bellsouth.net . To quote Philip, “Help is only a click away!” ###

AdAgencyOnline.Net was introduced by Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., AAOL, during the 2008 NADA Convention as a free automotive advertising resource / networking portal. Philip Zelinger, the President of AAOL and the host of the blog talk radio station featured on AdAgencyOnline.Net – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time – relied on the “real world” meeting to find “virtual world” solutions provided by the automotive advertising vendors exhibiting at the convention. The 2009 NADA Convention to be held in New Orleans, January 24^th through January 27^th, promises to add a number of new online solutions for a struggling auto industry and Philip will be there to review them for his affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer clients and site visitors.

It is anticipated that auto dealer attendance will be down at the convention based in part on reduced support from the O.E.M.s who are bowing to public pressure to cut expenses forcing the cancellation of several auto dealer meetings and after hour events. Many automotive advertising vendors have also commented that they have cut back on the size of their booths and/or eliminated setting up an exhibit in favor of using hospitality suites at hotels near the convention to reduce expenses.

In a recent interview on one of the blog talk radio shows featured on WAAOL, “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising” Philip recognized that auto dealer attendance may be down this year but he remained confident that the opportunities will be better than ever before. “My trip to New Orleans is already a success. I am going to the NADA Convention armed with the checkbooks of my affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer clients to find new solutions to solve shard problems. Based on preliminary conversations and scheduled presentations at the convention I am confident that there will be a few new “preferred automotive advertising vendors” joining AdAgencyOnline.Net after my trip and several new strategic partnerships formed with my current vendor clients. I also have many online friends meeting me there to discuss our new shared auto industry social networking site – Auto Industry Insights. Frankly, introducing it at the NADA Convention is no coincidence. The success of AdAgencyOnline.Net taught me the importance of linking the “real world” with the virtual one. Conventions or conferences with my fellow professionals in the automotive advertising industry strengthen existing relationships and open opportunities for new ones.”

The new communal online resource being organized by Philip in cooperation with his vendor client EveryCarListed.Com will be a “Network of Networkers” with an advisory panel made up of a group of auto industry insiders including; ADM – hosted by Ralph Paglia, www.DealerRefresh.Com – hosted by Jeff Kershner, www.DrivingsSales.Com – hosted by Jared Hamilton, http://imacsweb.typepad.com/ – hosted by Gary May, http://www.scottmonty.com/ – hosted by Scott Monty, www.askpatty.com – hosted by Jody Devere and www.adagencyonline.net hosted by Philip Zelinger.

AAOL has provided leveraged resources to their affiliates since before the Internet based social networking phenomenon was recognized by conventional automotive advertising agencies. Their explosive growth evidences the wisdom of their business model for serving the auto industry. Their use of the Internet and digital marketing combined with the related technologies and applications that integrate “virtual auto dealerships” with real world selling processes has allowed them to prosper during a struggling economy that has forced auto dealers to rethink the way that they advertise.

The automotive advertising agencies linked through AAOL find, review and recommend cutting edge automotive advertising applications and coordinated selling process for both the real and virtual showrooms for their auto dealer clients. Their communal networking portal, AdAgencyOnline.Net, features preferred automotive advertising vendors through dedicated links and the site’s hosted blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time.

The blog talk radio shows featured on WAAOL include; “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising”, “Lunch With Ralph Discussing Automotive Advertising” and “Automotive Advertising Experts.” All of the shows run on assigned weekdays from 12:00 Noon EST to 12:30 PM EST with invited automotive advertising experts reviewing cutting edge applications for consideration by the automotive advertising agencies, auto dealers and O.E.M. representatives that follow WAAOL to listen and learn while others teach!

Auto industry vendors previously reviewed on the blog talk radio shows include; LeadConverter, AI Dealer, Laser Steam Video, NeoSynergy, CarFolks.Com, ADP, BZ Results, Kihon Media, R.L. Polk & Co., The Detroit Trading Exchange, Ebay Motors, Veeple, Dealer.Com, AdSymetrix, Gumiyo, vAuto, AAX, AdTel, ReachLocal, ecarlist, and nada-24 – to name a few.
