The 2025 South African Automotive Marketing Report is set to redefine how marketers and business leaders navigate South Africa’s fast-evolving automotive industry, where digital influence is now a key driver of consumer decisions.
The inaugural report developed by Rogerwilco, Africa’s largest B Corp-certified marketing agency, in collaboration with Martech leader YOUKNOW, provides insights to help refine digital engagement strategies, align messaging with consumer expectations and strengthen brand positioning.
With 92% of car buyers researching online before stepping into a dealership, traditional marketing strategies are no longer enough. Social media sentiment, share of search, and online engagement are shaping consumer perceptions and, ultimately, driving vehicle sales.
