The Automotive Digital Marketing Experts
About Us
CMe Automotive is a specialist automotive marketing agency helping dealerships across the UK increase visibility, generate quality enquiries and grow their businesses through smarter marketing.
Charisse Smith, launched the CMe brand in June 2014 and then in 2021 she launched CMe Automotive after recognising our unique offering to dealers post covid. There was a gap in the market for an agency that genuinely understood the automotive sector. Charisse’s career in advertising began at just 17 years old, selling advertising space for a scuba diving magazine before moving into media and automotive advertising in 2005. Her experience working with dealerships/car garages/retailers during her time at Wave 105 radio provided valuable insight into the challenges faced by retailers and the importance of effective marketing within the automotive industry.
Charisse founded CMe Media from her dining room table. What started as a small media consultancy for a select number of AM100 dealer groups, quickly grew into a successful business specialising in media planning, digital marketing, content creation and creative services. As more automotive clients joined the portfolio amongst non-automotive sectors such as property, education, mobility & health, it became clear that we needed to create a dedicated agency built around their specific needs, leading to the creation of CMe Automotive.
Today, CMe Automotive works alongside its sister company, CMe Media, with a growing team of marketing specialists supporting dealerships/car garages throughout the UK. Our clients range from independent single-site operations through to large dealer groups and multi-franchise retailers, each with their own objectives, challenges and opportunities.
We support car/van dealers/retailers across every stage of their marketing journey, from Google Vehicle Ads, Google Ads and SEO through to Meta advertising, social media management, creative design, content creation, video production, media buying and traditional advertising channels including radio, TV and billboards.
As one of the original agencies involved in Google’s Vehicle Ads beta programme, we’ve been helping dealerships maximise the potential of GVA since the platform’s early days. Today, we manage campaigns for more than 100 dealerships nationwide and support the advertising of thousands of vehicles every month.
What makes us different is our combination of automotive expertise and a personal approach. We understand that no two automotive retailers are the same. Whether you’re a family-run independent retailer or a large dealer group, we take the time to understand your business, your stock profile and your goals before recommending a strategy.
Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. We believe dealerships should always know where their marketing budget is being invested, how campaigns are performing and what results are being delivered. Through advanced reporting, tracking and ongoing optimisation, we help our clients make informed decisions and achieve measurable results.
