Radio has long been intimately involved with cars and car dealers, and it's been a great relationship. But now it's time to take a look at car buying, and the whole ownership life cycle, from the perspective of today's connected consumer. How will these savvy consumers research, buy, and get service for their vehicles going forward? And how can radio keep its place as a key part of the process? What new services can radio offer to consumers and to those all-important auto-dealer clients?
At the DASH conference, you can be part of a lively discussion on radio and its relationship with dealers in these always-connected times. After a special presentation by voice artist Lee Alan Reicheld on the importance of radio creative, you'll hear from both the radio and the dealership sides on this topic that's so important to radio's future.
DASH, hosted by Radio Ink, Jacobs Media, and Shuman Consulting Group, is coming up soon: October 15-16 in Detroit. Every car will be a connected car before you know it -- don't be caught unprepared. Register today!
