World Car Awards
MARCH 27, 2024
JAVITS CENTER, NEW YORK
It is the mission of the World Car Awards and its 100+ global jurors to recognize, reward and inspire automotive excellence, leadership and innovation in a rapidly changing automotive industry on a global scale.
To that end we test drive and evaluate new or fully redesigned vehicles that are for sale in multiple markets on more than one continent each year, voting to determine the World Car Design, World Luxury Car, World Performance Car, World Urban Car, World Electric Vehicle and World Car of the Year. Full vehicle eligibility requirements and our annual timeline can be found via the links in the menu above.
Now in their 20th year, the annual World Car Awards are the number one awards program in the world for the eleventh consecutive year in terms of media reach and analysis of forty-seven top global markets in AITASTIC’s 2023 media report.
The awards were inaugurated in 2003, and officially launched in January 2004, to reflect the reality of the global marketplace.
The 2024 World Car of the Year Awards will be announced live during an awards ceremony at the New York International Auto Show on March 27, 2024.
MediaPost's Automotive Marketing Conference
MARCH 27, 2024
JAVITS CENTER, NEW YORK
While broad-reach splashy marketing efforts (think broadcast TV campaigns) are still part of the equation, automakers are spending more of their dollars and efforts on drilling down to niche customers.
Whether it’s the use of experiential, sponsorships or diverse influencers, finding customers where they live, work and play is more important now than ever.
The automotive segment is moving beyond reliance on the big media buy and testing and learning from a range of non-traditional channels – CTV, TikTok, gaming, charging stations and digital out of home, etc. This reflects a sharper segmentation of auto product development and marketing.
This conference will aim to showcase some of the best practices including:
- When does sports and Esports marketing and sponsorship make sense and how is it best accomplished?
- How has the use of influencers evolved over time and how important is the micro vs macro?
- Why is getting customers behind the wheel still more important than ever, especially when it comes to electric vehicles?
MediaPost’s Automotive Marketing Conference takes place on March 27, 2024 at the Javits Center – New York City – Room 1E08
