About

Shift Marketing Studio Inc specializes in delivering tailored marketing solutions for automotive dealers and Original Equipment Manufacturers, utilizing advanced technology to enhance lead generation and customer engagement. Shift Marketing Studio Inc was founded in 2010 in Canada. The company focuses on providing marketing solutions specifically for the automotive sector, including services that optimize lead generation through advanced technology. Founded by Dave Harlander, the firm has undergone strategic developments since its inception.


As of August 2017, Shift Marketing was acquired by A5 Capital, and the financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The current CEO is Isabella Chamaoun, supported by John Paterson and Vladyslav Yushyn. Shift Marketing offers a comprehensive suite of marketing solutions tailored specifically for automotive dealers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). At the core of their product offerings is the Shift One marketing platform, which leverages advanced artificial intelligence to optimize lead generation and customer engagement.


The platform employs a sophisticated lead scoring algorithm to identify and prioritize potential buyers within a dealer’s existing customer database, enhancing marketing efficiency. Shift's services also include cross-media communication strategies and the creation of visually appealing landing pages designed to strengthen brand presence and drive conversions. The company primarily serves a North American market, targeting auto dealerships and manufacturers seeking to improve customer experiences and increase vehicle sales through innovative marketing solutions. Shift Marketing generates revenue through various transactional models, primarily focusing on B2B engagements with automotive dealers and OEMs.


The firm’s revenue structure includes subscription-based access to its marketing platform, along with partnership agreements that facilitate ongoing marketing support and campaign management services. Clients engage with Shift Marketing for comprehensive marketing campaigns, which may involve one-time project fees or recurring charges based on the services utilized. The company's flagship product, the Shift One marketing platform, plays a critical role in driving these interactions as clients rely on its capabilities to enhance lead generation and marketing effectiveness. Shift Marketing plans to leverage the recent acquisition by A5 Capital to enhance its product offerings and expand into new markets.


The company is currently developing new features for the Shift One marketing platform with the goal of launching these updates by the end of 2023. Additionally, Shift Marketing is targeting expansion into the European automotive market by 2025, which is expected to drive further growth. The resources from the acquisition will be allocated to the development of innovative marketing solutions and the establishment of partnerships within the new geographical regions.
