“Refuel is the right partner to help us achieve that goal,” added Darrow. “Bringing together Refuel’s deep expertise and insights into the military segment with TrueCar’s thirteen years of experience powering car buying programs for prominent military service organizations will ensure we build a strong marketing foundation for TrueCar Military that sets us up for long-term growth.”

TrueCar’s partnership with Refuel Agency will focus on:

  • Brand Positioning and Messaging
  • Custom Persona Profiles & Segmentation
  • Custom Photography Assets
  • Digital, Social and Traditional Media Placement

“We are excited to partner with TrueCar and are confident that, through our Military expertise and omni-channel approach, TrueCar will become the go-to online destination for the Military and their vehicle shopping needs,” said Derek White, President & CEO at Refuel Agency. “By choosing a Military marketing agency and utilizing Veteran directors, photographers and producers for their campaign, TrueCar shows their dedication to the Military and Veteran community.”
