Automotive advertising agencies don't know what they don't know and they are turning to social networking communities like http://AdAgencyOnline.Net to listen and learn about the increasing role of social media in automotive advertising. Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. -- a national network of independent automotive advertising agencies -- hosts a blog talk radio station -- WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time -- where he regularly shares best practices with his affiliated automotive advertising agencies and automotive advertising decision makers that regularly follow his shows and contribute to their shared portal.

Social media is a new phenomenon that allows auto dealers to broadcast their own marketing messages to a targeted audience using established automotive advertising wisdoms, but in a more consumer centric manner and for a fraction of the cost of conventional media. Technology has always dictated the most efficient means to advertise a product or service and the Internet has opened a new channel with unlimited potential for reach and frequency of message. Previously, conventional media -- such as newspaper, radio and T.V. -- was controlled by big business primarily because of the amount of capital that was required to distribute their content. Philip Zelinger explained his support of social media in a comment on his recent blog talk radio show; "The Internet Super Highway has been built with no tolls -- for now at least -- and automotive advertising agencies only need to learn the rules of the road in order to travel on it."

Some of the blog talk radio shows hosted by Philip on WAAOL include Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising - and open business forum with live call in questions from listeners, Lunch With Ralph Paglia Discussing Automotive Advertising - a special platform for Ralph Paglia, the National Director Of Digital marketing for ADP and the host of his own auto industry social networking community http://AutomotiveDigitalMarketing.Com (ADM), and Automotive Advertising Experts where Philip invites automotive advertising insiders to discuss their products, services or unique insights into the future of the automotive advertising industry. Most recently, the guest on the Automotive Advertising Experts show was L.J. Marhefka, the Program Coordinator for the TARP Lending Program, (Together Automotive Retailing Prospers). Philip and L.J discussed TARP and their participation in the 2010 NIADA Convention scheduled at Caesar's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas June 14th., 2010 through June 17th., 2010. Philip will join the originator of the TARP program, Keith Whann, in a panel on social media to be held on Wednesday morning for the general session at the convention.

In the week prior to his interview with L.J., Philip interviewed Brian Pasch, the President of PCG Digital Marketing and the host of http://InternetSalesManager.Org. The pair of automotive advertising experts discussed a new automotive advertising platform introduced by Brian and Sean Wolfington -- http://AutomotiveAdvertisingNetwork.Com ,(AAN), that provides leveraged online exposure and resources to develop leads for auto dealers that pay a flat monthly fee to list their inventory. The subjects discussed and the guests that appear on WAAOL are chosen from a diverse group of friends and professional associates of Philip Zelinger who share his philosophy that a rising tide floats all boats.

The growth of social media and social networking has taken on a new meaning for automotive advertising agencies who have learned to rely on it for their own purposes as much as for their auto dealer clients anxious to sell their vehicles on the Internet Super Highway. Using the Internet as a resource for information is not limited to consumers looking to purchase a vehicle. Social networking sites focused on the automotive advertising industry have been growing and AdAgencyOnline.Net took advantage of the trend by hosting a "Network Of Networkers" in a special section on their site called Auto Industry Insiders. The Auto Industry Insiders consist of a diverse group of nationally recognized authorities in the automotive advertising industry including Ralph Paglia and his social networking site http://AutomotiveDigitalMarketing.Com, Keith Whann and his http://Auttr.Com, Brian Pasch and http://www.InternetSalesmanager.Org, Jared Hamilton and his http://DrivingSales.Com, Chris Saraceno from Kelly Motors and their http://DealerElite.Net, Jody Devere and her http://AskPatty.Com and Scott Monty from Ford Motors and his http://ScottMonty.com .

These individual auto industry social networking sites have their own online communities with different rules and regulations that develop unique personalities and areas of interest that complement each other without competing for members or content. On the contrary, according to Philip, "The leveraged resources of any one of the member sites of Auto Industry Insiders justifies the participation of their members. The combined resources of the group linked together from one convenient location, with optional reciprocal links tying them to each other from their respective sites, proves out the formula that 2+2=5, if you add the right two!"
