Carwow

The bold space: Automotive's digital engine

Cementing Carwow as the one-stop-shop for buying or selling your car.

Background

Carwow is a British technology success story, having grown from small beginnings into one of the biggest online car marketplaces in the UK. The business came to Boldspace to help it create a public profile that aligned with that scale and propelled the brand closer to its competitors in leading conversations on key issues impacting the industry and car owners nationwide.

Our approach

Carwow needed to transition from occasional industry commentary to a mainstream, always-on influence on national issues. Our strategic and tactical plan ensured Carwow was credible and timely on these topics, moving briskly from trade to national media.

What we did

We established a robust press office targeting national media. Focusing on EVs, low emission zones, and the need for an easier and lower-stress way of changing cars, we built media relationships, responded to news stories and created data insights, positioning Carwow as a leading voice on diverse automotive issues.
