Jumpstart Automotive Media has entered an exclusive ad sales representation agreement with iSeeCars that makes  the car-shopping marketplace the newest member of the Jumpstart network.

In a news release Wednesday, iSeeCars chief executive Phong Ly said: “We’re excited to be a part of the Jumpstart family of sites and to have access to some of the industry’s most innovative marketing programs available.

“Our data-driven approach to the shopping process has helped us solidify our footprint in the automotive marketplace, arming consumers with the right information they need to negotiate the best deal,” he said. “Through our partnership with Jumpstart, we will be able to introduce and deliver deal transparency to a broader audience of car shoppers across the country.”

Jumpstart’s network of partners also includes such outlets as Car and Driver, U.S. News Best Cars, J.D. Power Cars, NADAguides, Autoweek.com, Autobytel, Autolist.com, Daily News Autos, LeftLaneNews.com, CarSoup, CarBuzz, CarStory and VehicleHistory.com.

“Jumpstart’s mission is focused on guiding the industry’s most qualified, engaged, in-market shoppers to the right car for them, and connecting our advertising partners to future prospects,” Jumpstart CEO Nick Matarazzo said in a news release.

“Our advertising platforms, combined with the explosive growth in car shoppers leveraging iSeeCars and its unique data-driven offerings will more closely connect consumers to the right research they need for their final purchase decisions,” he added.
