WHAT WE DOAuto-Ad is a hyperlocal outdoor advertising platform that promotes brands while also directly assisting U.S. Veterans. Using custom designed vinyl graphics on our fleet of brand new SUVs, Auto-Ad puts clients’ advertising message in front of their target audience using a proprietary algo-rithm optimized to generate the most meaningful impressions for each dollar spent. If your company engages with Auto-Ad, not only will your message be displayed in front of thousands of people every day in your target market, but there are tremendous cause marketing benefits associated with using the platform. U.S. Military Veterans receive Auto-Ad’s vinyl wrapped vehicles free of charge to be used as their daily driver for an entire year, subsidizing thousands of dollars in living expenses for worthy individuals and demonstrating your company’s participation in social consciousness and community outreach. With Auto-Ad, your moving advertisement is also GPS tracked with DOT Tra�c Overlay, meaning that you will have access to a dashboard displaying impressions that your vehicle generates in real-time, giving you the tools to accurately measure the success of your campaigns.

OUR STORY

Our Founder

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Auto-Ad was founded in November 2014, when Captain Ryan Hammer, a medically retired Air Force SF O�cer, needed a way to advertise a new local business that he establish to help a fellow veteran. Placing a vinyl wrap on the back of his own vehicle, and the vehicle of the veteran, seemed like an excellent way to raise awareness about the business within the local community, and gain exposure. Seeing that e�ectiveness of the vehicle vinyl wrap advertisement, Hammer, searched for a way to advertise on more vehicles in adjacent neighborhoods. When he found that no such service existed, Ryan started Auto-Ad to fill this untapped market.

Understanding that many of our veterans are severely limited with where they work and live due to lack of reliable transportation, Ryan committed to making Auto-Ad a part of the solution by matching veterans in need of vehicles with companies looking to advertise in their area. Auto-Ad’s business model creates a win-win solution for both veterans and the advertisers.

Auto-Ad did a soft launch in May 2015, testing a small-scale model focused on the local South Carolina market. Just a few months into the launch, Auto-Ad had to upgrade it’s infrastructure to satisfy the growing demand. In August 2015 Auto-Ad evolved its local model to a national model by partnering with Enterprise Fleet Management to handle it’s vehicle procurement, and with General Motors Corporate, to install the vinyl wraps on the vehicle right on the production line, and then ship the wrapped vehicles direct to the veterans.

Today, the service is accessible anywhere in the US, and Auto-Ad is excited to continue scaling, and put as many veterans behind the wheel as possible.

Ryan Hammer is a medically retired US Air Force Security Forces O�cer. Originally from Long Island, Ryan completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, College Park, and through the Air Force ROTC program, commissioned into the Air Force. Ryan holds a Masters of Arts in Security Management, a Master of Arts in Homeland Security, a Graduate Certificate in Emergency and Disaster Management, and a Master of Business Administration from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina. While serving in the Middle East, Ryan severely injured his shoulder, and after numerous experimental surgeries was medically retired. Since then his mission has been to provide opportunities, and support, for his fellow veterans as they exit the service and navigate life in the civilian sector.

Ryan [email protected] great advertising meets social responsibility

Auto-Ad changed my life! Before joining the fleet, I was stuck taking the bus to work every day. It was a three-hour commute, which severely limited my daily income. Auto-Ad gave me a normal work day, and the means to find a better job closer to home. Now I am in a good place, and able to provide for my family.

OUR VETERAN DRIVERS BECOME YOUR LOYAL BRAND AMBASSADORS

As our military servicemen and women are not ones to take handouts, the relationship is beneficial

as the veterans feel they are earning their vehicle by working with us to promote your business.

They are so relieved to have reliable transportation and elated that it’s a fully loaded new Chevy

Equinox, that they tell everyone they know how the Company on the vehicle has taken care of

them.

Not only do they spread the word and share their excitement on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram,

but their family and friends tell everyone that the Company (Your Company!) has just provided

their veteran family member with a fully loaded Equinox.

We match your company with the perfect Brand Ambassador in each target market based on the

potential driver’s behavior analysis. We factor in their residence, commute to work, commute to

their children’s school, favorite grocery store, etc.

All of the veterans in our program have served in the U.S. Military and were discharged Honorably

or Generally. Each veteran also goes through a criminal background and driver history check. Our

veterans are referred to us through partnership with various veteran focused organizations such

as Wounded Warrior Project, Fisher House, and IAVA.

YOUR ADVERTISING CAN SERVE A GREATER PURPOSE!

Every ad is another great PR story, and every car’s story is di�erent because every veteran is di�erent.

With Auto-Ad, your advertising becomes a force for social good while giving you a competitive edge.

At Auto-Ad, we provide our customers with an opportunity to launch a Corporate Social

Responsibility (CSR) initiative that does not require you to form committees or pay for hours of

unproductive discussions. Our CSR initiative is built into our product and does not involve any

legwork on your part – we manage everything. All you need to do is communicate your CSR e�orts to

your customers and create your PR story!

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) explained

When you partner with Auto-Ad, you put your Corporate Citizenship initiativeon auto-pilot – no separate budgets needed.

Corporate Social Responsibility (a.k.a, Corporate Conscience or Corporate

Citizenship) is a set of initiatives, practices and policies a given company uses to do good in the

world. Whether they benefit the local community or the entire nation, these initiatives are a way for

organizations to set themselves apart from competition by taking a stand for something that they find

important. When customers decide who they want to do business with, they are more likely to choose a

company whose CSR e�orts align with their own social concerns. CSR initiatives are evolving quickly, with many companies opting to set aside separate budgets to implement CSR.
