Jumpstart Automotive Media Announces Exclusive Advertising Partnership With VehicleHistory.com

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10, 2017 -- Jumpstart Automotive Media, a leading media, insights, and marketing solutions company and division of Hearst Autos, today announced an exclusive advertising sales representation agreement with VehicleHistory.com, an auto research website that provides consumers with free access to the most comprehensive historical data on vehicles in the U.S.

VehicleHistory.com provides consumers with extensive automotive research, reviews, free vehicle history reports (VHRs), and the ability to research license plate numbers, filed police reports on specific vehicles that may provide important insight regarding vehicle condition, and—when available—actual images of any damage a vehicle has incurred throughout its history.

“Shopping for a car is one of life’s biggest decisions and the vast amount of information on the Internet doesn’t make it any easier. By providing consumers the unique combination of research, reviews and free VHRs, VehicleHistory.com is taking some of the uncertainty and inconvenience out of the car-buying process.  As we continue to look for new ways to add more value to our advertising partners, this partnership is a natural fit,” said Jumpstart Chief Executive Officer, Nick Matarazzo.

“Jumpstart has strong OEM and dealer relationships and is a leader in the marketplace for developing unique, custom, high-performing marketing programs. They continue to elevate the digital auto shopping experience, and this consumer-centric approach will be a huge win for our audience,” said VehicleHistory.com Chief Executive Officer, Jennifer Mitchell.
