Philip Zelinger

I spent 25+ years as a General Manager and then a Dealer Principal before opening Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. in 2001. My role within my organization is that of "Dealer Coach/Consultant" in evaluating selling systems, processes and key vendor selections for my dealer clients. As the author of two books relating to my experiences in the Automotive Industry, including one entitled "How To Sell A Car," I enjoy a reputation as a "Car guy who specializes in advertising, rather that an Ad guy who specializes in the automobile industry."

Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. is a national network of independent affiliated automotive advertising agencies, production partners and select technology and service vendors that share our vision to "blur the line between the real and the virtual world."

Our affiliated automotive advertising agencies and dealer/vendor clients are linked by our proprietary online communication / distribution system that leverages our resources to provide more for less.

Our services include radio, T.V. and print production - conventional and digital - media analysis and placement, public relations, marketing, key vendor selection, facility evaluation, staffing solutions, P&L analysis and dealer acquisition and disposition.

We specialize in the technology sector with vendor clients that represent cutting edge technologies and applications that are not yet in the mainstream. Our automotive advertising resource / networking portal - http://AdAgencyOnline.Net - features a blog talk radio station - WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time - with daily vendor reviews and industry news.

My automotive advertising resource/networking portal - www.adagencyonline.net - is an extension of our services that hosts a blog talk radio station - WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time - an online Dealer 20+ Group, free posted creative and featured "preferred vendors" that represent cutting edge automotive advertising technologies and applications for consideration by our affiliated independent automotive advertising agencies, dealer clients and site visitors.

I enjoy unique access to decision makers in the auto industry provided by our portal's online community that extends from the auto dealer and vendor level to the O.E.M's. As a result, I have accepted both reseller and agency of record relationships with several auto industry vendors to compliment my auto dealer and automotive advertising agency relationships; including many members of auto industry focused social networking communities that I contribute content to and maintain reciprocal links with.

My agencies ability to "bridge the gap between buyers and sellers" in the automotive vertical has provided many shared opportunities for our varied clients.

I recently integrated my background in commercial real estate with my auto industry roots to form a division of Colliers International Of South Florida servicing the auto industry - Colliers Automotive Real Estate Services, (C.A.R.S.), with an international presence. We have exclusive access to O.E.M. properties for disposition and international investors interested in dealer acquisition.
