B2B Automotive Technology Marketing

An industry defined by a 100-year-old legacy is reaching a tipping point. New technological innovations are disrupting the automotive sector from every angle, including ADAS, big data, telematics, artificial intelligence, automation and blockchain — to name just a few.

And no one is immune to the changes. Insurance carriers, OEMs, collision repairers, parts manufacturers, telematics providers, industrial manufacturers, vehicle lifecycle management solutions and everyone in between are reconsidering their place in the future of the automotive industry.

B2B PR strategies for your auto tech business

As disruptors of your industry, you need to partner with innovators in B2B automotive marketing. The right marketing strategies for the automotive industry can be the difference between earning recognition among your target audiences and getting lost in the shuffle.

That means understanding everything from how automotive brands continue to evolve, to having a firm grasp on the requirements set by regulatory bodies like the NHTSA, SEMA, AAPC and more.
