MEET THE RAM GROUP

AN AUTOMOTIVE DIGITAL & TRADITIONAL MARKETING AGENCY

At the RAM Group, we believe in making a difference. As an automotive-only agency, we are the experts on strategies that will generate results and increase revenue and ROI for our clients.

Trusted by some of the best dealerships in the world, we are proud to represent them and provide full transparency in everything we do. From better reporting, to in-depth strategy sessions, our goal is to ensure you are profitable and fully aware of the marketing that is working for you.

OUR TEAM SET UP

Just as you do in a dealership, our teams are set up with department heads that mitigate interruptions, increase go-to-market strategy speed time, and maintain accountability in all campaigns.

However, just as a conductor leads an orchestra, so too will your account manager lead your strategy. A master of all, your RAM Group team leader will be able to lead multiple teams in order to go live with new campaigns quickly and decrease the number of people you have to call/ email.

DECISIONS BASED ON DATA, NOT OPINIONS

At the RAM Group, we believe in the power of data to make changes that will impact all campaigns positively. Through enterprise system and data-scraping technologies, we discover hidden insights and create visualizations to accurately turn numbers into actionable insights we can all understand.

From there, our predictive analysis tools can help us make decisions knowing how these will impact our bottom line.

WE TAKE COMPLIANCE SERIOUSLY

From ADA to ICANN and more, our goal is to limit the liability to your dealership. For this reason, we ensure every campaign is fully compliant with the latest standards.
