Why Putting Every Ad Dollar Into Google Is a Trap (+ How to Fix It) | Jason Goldberg, General Manager of Automotive at The Trade Desk

71% of the brands a car shopper will ever consider are already in their head before they type a single search, and Jason Goldberg says that's exactly why dealers putting 90% or more of their ad budget into search and social are showing up too late.

He walks through how dealers in one automaker's regions pooled their ad dollars into streaming TV and audio to buy the customer instead of the network, and argues that as AI shopping agents start requesting quotes on their own, dealers who don't build a brand will end up selling a commodity.
