Orange County, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2014

Automotive digital marketing firm Dealer Authority has hired Micah Birkholz as their new Director of Dealer Relations. Birkholz brings experience on both the retail and vendor side of the car business to the team and will be assuming a role within the company that will maximize these qualities.

Shortly after leaving the dealership world in 2007, he joined Carsoup as an account executive. This led to a three+ year tenure at Cobalt as a Performance Improvement Consultant where he helped dealers succeed in everything from social media and reputation management to website improvement and search marketing.

After two short stints at automotive advertising firms, he founded 1:16 Digital Media, a company dedicated to partnering with dealers in order to help them find success. It was in this role that he sparked the interest of Dealer Authority founder JD Rucker.

"The most important quality that Micah brings to the table is an unrelenting, unquestionable thirst for helping car dealers succeed," said Rucker. "We only look for people who are passionate about our clients' success, who take it personally when our dealers aren't dominating and who have the skills to push them further. Micah definitely fits the bill."

Birkholz will be taking on a hybrid approach to marketing for his Dealer Authority clients. Rather than simply fulfilling their needs in social media marketing and search engine optimization, he will be bringing a holistic approach that will help dealers to see the complete picture for their entire digital presence. The Director level position will still allow him to be hands-on with his clients.

"Micah's dedication to improving every facet of his clients' online marketing will help us establish long-term relationships across the industry," said Tyson Madliger, CEO of Dealer Authority. "I'm excited to see what he can do and the difference that he can make."

Dealer Authority was founded in 2013 to bring high-quality, personalized social media marketing and search engine optimization to the automotive industry.
