Vehicle Video Ads — That Drive Showroom Traffic
Automotive marketing demands high-quality vehicle showcases, but producing video ads for every model, trim, and offer is prohibitively expensive with traditional methods. Sovran lets dealers and brands create model-specific, offer-specific video ads at scale — driving test drives and showroom visits.
Why automotive teams struggle with video ads
These production bottlenecks slow testing and make each new variation more expensive.
Every model and trim needs dedicated creative
Sedans, SUVs, trucks, EVs — each model has different buyers with different priorities. A family shopping for an SUV doesn't respond to the same creative as a performance enthusiast considering a sports car.
Promotional offers change monthly
Lease specials, financing rates, year-end clearance, and manufacturer incentives change every month. Your video ads need to reflect current offers — but re-producing ads for every pricing change is unsustainable.
Per-vehicle video production is cost-prohibitive
Professional vehicle video shoots cost $2,000-10,000+ per model. Multiply that across your inventory and offer calendar, and traditional video becomes impossible for all but flagship models.
OEM vs dealer marketing tension
Dealers need local, offer-specific creative while OEMs push brand-level messaging. Balancing national brand guidelines with local market needs creates constant creative friction.
