The Scottish marketing company’s work for the Suzuki brand is gaining more recognition and the announcement highlights the demand for their services, working with local companies in the north-east of Scotland, across the UK, to Dubai and the US.
The ‘Social Media Award’ was presented for delivering the best social media presence in the UK car retailing sector, which engaged customers and drove sales. Luscombe Suzuki Leeds, whose account is managed by Weightman Digital, were announced ‘Social Media’ winners at the highly-coveted Motor Trader awards, the biggest night in the retail motor industry calendar.
“Through its well thought-out social media strategy, Luscombe Suzuki Leeds successfully punched above its weight in terms of customer engagement and reach,” said the Motor Trader Awards judging panel.
Weightman Digital Managing Director, Neil Weightman, said “A few years ago, we recognised that the motor industry would benefit from really buying into social media and the use of video. The easiest and quickest way for us to offer a solution was to create a training programme called ‘FBfortheForecourt’. From this training course, we applied the same principles to Luscombe Suzuki’s social media strategy. We are thrilled at the recognition these awards bring us following lots of hard work whilst delighted to just offer some effective advice in the digital age that has also gained recognition for our client and an seen a measured increase in sales!”
