Dorschel Automotive Group opened up a MINI Cooper dealership and needed to create buzz and raise community awareness. Using Social Media we helped them generate interest and get people talking about these fun little cars. This slidedeck walks you through the components of the Facebook marketing and contest that surrounded the activity.
