The platform built by people who actually read the agency invoice.
Our Story
We watched dealers overpay. So we fixed it.
Built inside the business
AET started in Colorado, working shoulder to shoulder with dealers who were tired of paying agencies to do work they could see was simple. So we built the tools to do it in-house.
From one tool to a platform
What began as a faster way to get digital ads live grew into a full marketing platform: creative, AI, email, landing pages, social deployment, streaming, and measurement.
Dealers first, always
Every feature we ship comes from a real dealer asking for it. No markup on your social spend, no long-term lock-in, and you own everything you create. That is the deal.
Our Mission
Put dealership marketing back in the hands of the dealership.
It is what AET stands for, and it is how we work. Adapt to a market that changes monthly. Evolve past the agency model that agencies built on complexity. Transcend what a dealership thought it could do on its own: the same creative firepower and deployment speed as the biggest ad budgets in the industry, at a flat price with no markup on social spend.
