Combined digital marketing company provides the first complete social media, internet lead response and reputation management solution for auto dealers

Sunnyvale, CA (April 3, 2012) – Today Digital Air Strike was announced as the official company name of the recently merged automotive digital marketing companies ResponseLogix, Inc. and Digital Air Strike, Co. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Digital Air Strike has combined dynamic prospect-response digital marketing solutions with social media and reputation management for auto dealers. Both of the individual companies were founded by automobile industry veterans and work with dealers, dealership groups and manufacturers nationwide.

“The Digital Air Strike name captures the dynamic range of digital solutions and services in our expanding portfolio. We conducted primary research across all tiers and confirmed that it is an igniting brand that has strong brand awareness on par with many established companies in our industry,” said Tom Mohr, ResponseLogix co-founder and now President and CEO of Digital Air Strike. “Digital marketing mediums have dramatically changed the advertising landscape and we are excited to be the first automotive solutions company that has combined innovative lead management technology with cutting-edge social media and reputation management services.”

Founded in 2007, the Response Logix name will transition into one of three product lines for the company while continuing to deliver multi-vehicle price quotes, lead follow-up and behavioral targeting solutions for dealers. The original Digital Air Strike social media and reputation management product lines will now be branded Social Logix and Reputation Logix, completing the merged digital product offering.

“Dealers are continually engaged in a digital war for market share with the goal of driving more traffic to their website and all online assets they control. The Digital Air Strike brand was designed to communicate our value proposition of providing digital air cover and a dedicated team to work behind the scenes to give our dealers a distinct online advantage,” said Alexi Venneri, original Digital Air Strike co-founder, now CMO and COO-Social Media.

Digital Air Strike’s three product lines – Response Logix, Social Logix and Reputation Logix – all provide the benefit of fast response, enhanced marketing campaigns and increased consumer engagement.

2011 US Auto Dealer Mystery Shop Study

Company Blogon February 4th, 2012No Comments

Between October and November 2011 we conducted a Mystery Shopping survey of more than 1,000 US auto dealers. This infographic captures the response times, the percent of dealers who responded with and without a price. The pie chart represents an analysis of information held in the emails that offered a price quote. From sending a price for a single car up to the Best Practices standard of sending multi-vehicle pricing with vehicle details and incentive pricing. Only 7% of the dealers we surveyed delivered a response on par with best practice.

Methodology: 1082 dealers surveyed. No Response Logix clients included. Gmail account used to collect responses. Requests submitted through dealer websites. Auto responders were discounted from the study, defined as any response received within five minutes and without specific information from the request. All Response Logix SmartQuotes satisfy best practices and would qualify as a top quality response.
