AUTOMOTIVE BRINGING AUTOMOTIVE BRANDS TO LIFE Good brands are experiential. They tell stories and inspire emotions within their avid customers. Few brands do this better than automotive companies. Like so many things in retail, the process of buying and owning cars has a renewed focus on the customer experience. From the showroom to the service center, the brand must be reflected throughout— encouraging loyalty and keeping customers coming back. 1. TODD WENZEL CHEVROLET Exterior | Grand Rapids, MI
