Objective

Solutions

Stirista conducted a thorough analysis of past customers at each Clark Auto Group dealership to identify potential new prospects using the Stirista Identity Graph. This analysis was aimed at identifying individuals who closely matched the dealership’s target audience and exhibited similar purchasing behaviors. In addition, Stirista also provided a full suite of services, including creative development, campaign setup, strategic planning, ongoing monitoring, optimization, and measurement across various channels such as CTV, Display, Email, Social, and Search.
