Old school advertising agencies made the case that automotive advertising was designed to drive traffic to the dealership.  Get the phone to ring and make an appointment for the customer to visit the dealership to get the information they needed to purchase a vehicle; that was job one!

I accept responsibility for providing proof of my performance.
