Retain Media

Based in Cheltenham, Australia, Retain Media is a small digital marketing agency, founded in 2022, that concentrates exclusively on the automotive sector and related vehicle industries. Its clients include dealerships, OEMs, F&I companies and other businesses within these fields, typically those without the internal capacity to manage digital marketing themselves. The agency positions itself as a specialist alternative to generalist agencies, drawing on the founder's prior 12 years of experience working with OEMs, dealers and F&I companies across publishers such as carsales.com.au, Power Torque and ACP Trader. Services cover SEO, Google Ads, social media marketing, and digital strategy, structured around four stages: auditing the client's business, products and objectives; planning and building campaigns with appropriate tools; launching with defined reporting and goals; and ongoing measurement and optimisation. Specific offerings include Google My Business management, search ranking, and WordPress website maintenance under SEO; search, display and YouTube advertising with remarketing under Google Ads; and Facebook advertising with remarketing under social media. The agency also provides free tools and resources aimed at the automotive industry, including competitor monitoring of dealer and OEM Facebook and Google ad activity, Google My Business post templates, market reports, press releases, and insights on Google Ads, SEO and social advertising. Account management is described as responsive and offered without lock-in contracts.
