Atlanta, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Force Marketing, a leading provider of data-driven, omnichannel marketing solutions for the automotive industry, has announced a strategic data partnership with automotiveMastermind. This collaboration leverages automotiveMastermind’s proprietary buyer propensity data and segmentation capabilities to give Force customers the ability to unlock new opportunities across digital channels that were previously inaccessible, enabling dealers to expand audience reach, increase engagement, and drive measurable results.

Through this partnership, automotiveMastermind enhances dealers’ first-party data with its  advanced BPS® (Behavior Prediction Score) and segmentation processes. By identifying high-value prospects, dealers can optimize audience targeting for maximum marketing impact.

Force Marketing brings this enriched data to life with its proprietary Customer Data Platform (CDP), Audience IQ. It gives exclusive access to dealers to activate campaigns across key digital channels—including paid search, Meta, display, online video, connected TV (CTV), and streaming audio. Combining this cutting-edge technology with industry-leading creative, strategic marketing planning and extensive client performance data, Force Marketing has developed a fully-optimized marketing system designed to deliver transformative results.

“This partnership is revolutionary for automotive dealers,” said John Fitzpatrick, CEO at Force Marketing. “For the first time, we’re able to integrate automotiveMastermind’s enriched buyer propensity data into a comprehensive digital marketing framework. This is about unlocking strategic access to a powerful dataset and activating it across untapped digital channels. With Force’s proprietary CDP, Audience IQ, we’re making this seamless and delivering it directly to dealers in a way that drives meaningful results and measurable growth.”

“As a certified digital partner for 12 OEMs and counting, we understand the complexity dealers face in staying ‘on program’ while choosing the right partner for their group,” said Fitzpatrick. “Integrating automotiveMastermind’s powerful data into program-compliant digital advertising gives dealers a clear competitive edge. It’s a smarter, more strategic way to localize efforts and win in today’s market.”

The true highlight of this partnership lies in the union of two trusted dealer vendor partners working together to enhance dealership outcomes at no added cost. In a market crowded with brands collaborating with OEMs and dealers, this partnership signals a new era of synergy. By aligning their efforts, Force Marketing and automotiveMastermind are setting a standard for optimizing results and creating shared value for dealerships. “There isn’t enough of this happening in auto today,” added John Fitzpatrick. “This is the new world. We work together.”
