It’s forty years since the first Auto Trader magazine was published. Now that we are online only, we decided it was high time to create a new brand and launch it with a new campaign – the first of its kind.
Tell New Zealand about your car, originated from the simple insight that private sellers just want as many people as possible to see their listing.
Auto Trader is also encouraging New Zealanders to become a part of the campaign by selecting 10 winners each month based on their listing creativity. The winners will then receive a nationwide billboard campaign and free exposure for their car sale. We’re looking forward to seeing how creative you can be with your headline!
