Media attribution for automotive brands

Understand whether your TV and digital ads are working

Measure what exposed car buyers do next, from brand-site visits to configurations and enquiries, independently of the media seller.

Using our proprietary technology, we securely match your in-market visitors to streamed TV and online advertising, analysing visits, configurations and test-drive enquiries to show what advertising changes in the automotive buying journey.

Illustrative measurement journey

Identify which ads lead to automotive research, configuration and enquiries

Traditional attribution relies on clicks or last-touch models, which ignore buyer intent. Car buyer journeys are non-linear, with customers interacting with ads, review sites and marketplace platforms long before visiting a brand site. Sophus3 gives those interactions a consistent automotive measurement standard.

  • Clarity on the relationship between ad spend and buyer actions
  • Detailed post-exposure analysis using secure matching within the agreed data scope
  • Intent-led metrics, including propensity to buy and brand consideration
  • Validated attribution performance and unique buyer insight
