Orlando PPC Jobs: Eckler Industries seeks a Digital Marketing Manager (Metro Orlando, FL 32780)

Eckler is a direct marketer of auto parts serving the auto enthusiast. The firm focuses on the classic American car restoration subculture. Meaning, while Eckler does inventory late-model Corvette and late model Camaro parts, those are more of an extension of its earlier product lines revolving around classic Corvettes, Camaros, Ford’s, Chevys, and the like.

For the most part, Eckler markets through annual catalogs for its largest product lines and takes advantage of specific digital marketing channels to amplify its catalog coverage. Its house file is quite large, and traditionally Eckler has done very well in organic search, pay per click, and email. The firm’s strategy has been to niche itself over and over again to specific product lines – as evidenced by its popular websites EcklersCorvette.com, ClassicChevy.com, LateGreatChevy.com, RicksCamaros.com, EcklersFirebird.com, and more.

Boys ages 3 to 103 go nuts for these cars, and the world is full of rabid, well informed car collectors who live to hang out with their fellow car buffs showing and restoring classic cars.

So that’s your target customer. And believe me: They’re out there in large numbers.

Demographically, Eckler’s customers aren’t too different from the readers of, say, Hemmings Motor News, and we’ll be happy to share the client’s own deliriously detailed description of the firm’s “slam dunk” customer. For now, let’s just say that Eckler’s customers have a deeply emotional connection to their car’s performance and appearance — and they’re downright obsessive about the parts and accessories used in their restoration projects.

Eckler offers nearly 150,000 products across a wide range of automotive restoration categories that include high-performance parts, accessories and OEM parts used to restore a car to its original state. Naturally, with a selection like that, there’s lots of work to be done with long-tail SEO and PPC.

Eckler seeks a first rate SEO\SEM and digital marketing gunslinger to develop, implement, track and optimize its digital marketing campaigns – mostly across search engines, but inclusive of all digital channels.

Ideally, you will have both a very strong hands-on track record of actually DOING the work along with agency management experience.
