Marketing Automotive at the N.Y. Auto Show
This March, the New York International Auto Show will spotlight production, near-production, and concept vehicles that speak volumes about how automakers are addressing a future of connected cars, alternative power-train technology, and quickly evolving consumer expectations and desires. At Jacob Javits Convention Center, MediaPost will take a hard look at how marketers are addressing transformation. Our Marketing Automotiveconference will, for example, ponder the paradox of the younger automotive prospect: is the car still the embodiment of freedom for the next generation, or merely a rolling connected "appliance"? How are automakers handling transformation in the digital landscape to generate efficiencies and create content that inspires consumers? How about the luxury market, which is now in flux as new players enter the fray, and mass market brands introduce their own definitions of "premium". Also in transformation: the U.S. population, whose changing makeup will soon render the terms “general market” and “diversity market” irrelevant. Finally, we will look at the connected car, and the power of telematics/infotainment platforms as sub-brands and de facto marketing channels. Or course, no conference on marketing would be complete without some great examples of campaigns and strategies automakers are using today.Contact: Maya Abulashvili MediaPost Communications
