Team Velocity Awarded AWA Vanguard Award at NADA - Releases First Automated Video Advertising Tool

"We are excited to be recognized for our hard work and innovation and look forward to our dealers benefitting from our latest technology developments as we continue to create intelligent, automated solutions," says Joe High, Senior Vice President at Team Velocity.

Team Velocity was recognized for their ground-breaking technology platform, Apollo®. Apollo eliminates the risks of traditional marketing techniques by utilizing sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) and marketing automation technology to increase revenue and efficiencies for both dealerships and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Apollo's AI automatically generates dynamic, offer-based campaigns through omni-channels including search, display, social, pre-roll, email, text, direct mail, personal websites and landing pages. Apollo eliminates the need for multiple platforms by combining everything into one easy-to-use, automated platform that reaches each dealership's Perfect Prospects® with a consistent message across all marketing channels and is the only platform that runs automatically 24/7, producing hyper-personalized, payment-based ads on real inventory.

Through an extensive review process, the experts at PCG review, research, and rate the best products for car dealers to incorporate into their process or showroom. The AWA awards companies that are on the forefront of new development or ideas to pave the way of the future of the automotive industry.

"This year we started a new tradition by selecting four companies that stood apart from the field of 57 products reviewed this year," says Brian Pasch, Founder of PCG Companies. "[Apollo's] seamless integration of online marketing and direct mail, through state-of-the-art technology, is jaw-dropping. We congratulate Team Velocity for being named a 2018 Vanguard Award winner and thank them for participating in this year's review process."

Amongst Team Velocity's recent technology innovations comes the first-ever automated video advertising tool, AdVid™.  Within a matter of minutes, Apollo uses AdVid to build dynamic, payment-based videos for every make and model the dealership sells, and automatically delivers them on YouTube. Every video is automatically updated nightly as inventory, incentives and pricing changes using a proprietary API Team Velocity developed for YouTube. Dealerships can now experience the ease and scalability of serving thousands of unique, payment-based pre-roll videos that are used for re-targeting and behavioral for in-market shoppers.
