RECEIVING TOP GRADE IN DEALER SATISFACTION, PURECARS SMARTADVERTISING® WINS AWARD IN SEM – PAID SEARCH CATEGORY FROM DRIVINGSALES

Atlanta, GA – February 1, 2018 – PureCars SmartAdvertising® has received a “Top Rated” SEM – Paid Search Award in the eighth annual DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Awards, presented at a special event in conjunction with the 2018 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Expo. PureCars SmartAdvertising® received a top rated dealer satisfaction ranking in the SEM – Paid Search category, as determined by the thousands of auto dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community.

“We are proud and honored to win the Driving Sales award”, said PureCars Founder & Chairman, Jeremy Anspach. “Since day one, PureCars has always put our dealers first. To do that well, I knew on day one we needed to focus on developing tech that would help dealers dominate digital but tech wouldn’t do everything without it being paired with the best talent in the business. Today, we have over 270 employees and less than 10% are in sales. That is the polar opposite of most of our peers and I’m proud that we continue to invest in the best people in the industry and give them our tech to help our dealers dominate digital in ways they have never seen before. This award shows it! ”

“Being honored by DrivingSales as a ‘Top-Rated SEM – Paid Search’ Provider for 2017 validates our extreme effort in providing the industry’s leading digital advertising platform combined with a best in class service model.” said PureCars CEO Sam Mylrea. “Without both components, we wouldn’t be the leading automotive digital advertising platform. We’ve consistently over invested in technology and service, and the DrivingSales recognition further shows that our strategy of putting the customer first is working.”

“We congratulate PureCars, on receiving the “Top Rated’ SEM – Paid Search Award, an accolade we consider to be one of our industry’s most important because it comes directly from dealers,” said DrivingSales CEO and Founder Jared Hamilton. “In our eighth year of presenting these awards, we feel especially proud that DrivingSales Vendor Ratings continues to help dealers make smart and informed decisions through thousands of peer reviews that lead them to outstanding service providers such as PureCars SmartAdvertising®. We’re thrilled PureCars SmartAdvertising® has been recognized as one of the best by the people to whom their services count the most: the dealer community.”
