2025 Wrapped: Reflecting on a Year of Growth, Results, and Momentum
As we head into 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an incredible year at Automotive Internet Media (AIM), a provider of digital marketing solutions. From measurable performance gains to product expansion, team growth, and major industry events, 2025 was a year defined by progress and partnership.
Based in Hinsdale, Illinois, AIM continues to focus on one core mission: building and delivering performance-driven digital marketing solutions that help high-consideration industries connect with in-market buyers. Here’s a look back at what made 2025 such a milestone year in automotive marketing and beyond.
CarClicks Performance: Driving Results That Matter
CarClicks Marketing remained a cornerstone of our success in 2025, delivering consistent, measurable outcomes for our dealer partners.
Q1 2025 Performance Highlights
- Delivered 10,247,109 Vehicle Detail Page (VDP) views for dealer partners
- Maintained strong cost efficiency with an average cost per VDP of approximately $0.64
- Reached in-market shoppers across thousands of high-traffic domains, maximizing visibility and engagement
These results reinforce what our partners already know: CarClicks is built to drive qualified traffic, increase inventory exposure, and support real sales outcomes for automotive marketing, not just clicks or impressions.
Company Growth and Product Expansion
2025 marked a significant year of growth for AIM not only in results, but in capability. In addition to CarClicks, we expanded our product portfolio to support multiple high-intent verticals:
- ProductClicks
- LawClicks
- BoatClicks
- PowersportClicks
Each product applies the same proven, intent-based strategy that has made CarClicks successful, allowing us to deliver digital marketing solutions for automotive dealers, law firms, boat dealers, and powersports businesses while maintaining the performance standards our partners expect.
Industry Events and Connections
NADA 2025 – New Orleans
Early in the year, our team attended the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Conference in New Orleans, making the trip despite a historic January 2025 winter snowstorm. At NADA 2025, we showcased our automotive marketing and digital marketing solutions, led by CarClicks, connected with dealer partners and industry leaders, and uncovered new opportunities that helped set the tone for the year ahead.
2025 Chicago Auto Show Partnership
Automotive Internet Media (AIM) was proud to continue our partnership with the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) for another year of the Chicago Auto Show, held February 8–17, 2025. As one of the premier automotive events in the United States, the show serves as a key platform for showcasing the latest vehicles and industry innovations. AIM supported the show’s digital initiatives and helped power its local vehicle shopping portal, DriveChicago.com, connecting in-market shoppers with dealerships across Chicagoland.
NIADA 2025 – Las Vegas
In June, our team attended the 2025 National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA) Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, where we exhibited at Booth 1426. During the event, we demonstrated how CarClicks drives higher-quality website traffic and showed independent dealers how smarter inventory marketing can help sell more vehicles. NIADA 2025 provided another valuable opportunity to connect directly with dealers, share real results, and reinforce the value of intent-based advertising.
Closing Out 2025 and Looking Ahead to 2026
As we closed out 2025, we were proud of the results CarClicks delivered and the continued growth of our company, products, and team. Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to expand our digital marketing solutions and help businesses achieve measurable success across automotive marketing, law firm marketing, digital marketing for boat dealers, and powersports marketing.
