Digital marketing intelligence company Netsertive announced Tuesday it has been selected to join Kia’s list of digital providers.

The company is now one of six Kia Certified Website and Digital Advertising providers, a program that began in September at the Kia National Dealer Meeting in Las Vegas.

“Digital advertising is an important focus of our business to ensure that our dealerships are showing up in search and are using our brand-compliant assets to achieve success,” said Gene Black, national manager of digital sales at Kia Motors America. “Automotive shoppers average 19 hours of online research and will visit just one or two dealerships before buying. Netsertive will help us drive more sales with measurable, results-driven strategy designed to target those online consumers.”

Netsertive offers a variety of digital solutions for dealers, including its MarketWise for OEMs and StreetWise for Automotive Dealers products. For more information, check out its site here.

“As Netsertive continues to be chosen as a partner of choice, it validates the role of local digital marketing programs for automotive dealers and manufacturers,” said Brendan Morrissey, Netsertive’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “We are honored to be selected by a major brand, such as Kia. It is a true testament to both the power of our offerings and our phenomenal team, and we look forward to the work we will do together.”
