‘Digital marketing technologies and data analytics tools are improving very quickly all around the world and are bringing many important new benefits to automotive marketers.

‘My goal is to help Auto Trader bring these advancements to the UK market as rapidly as possible, and empower our customers to gain maximum value from them.’

Jonathan Williams, director of marketing at Auto Trader, said: ‘Chip Perry has been a pioneer in the transformation of the automotive digital industry in the United States, and I am sure that he will be a great asset to our company and our customers.’
