Vroom Names Anomaly as First Agency of Record

8/8/17

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vroom (www.vroom.com), the national online auto retailer, today announced that it has selected Anomaly as its first-ever agency of record. Vroom announced a $76 million Series F funding round in July.

Vroom is disrupting the traditional automotive industry with a direct-to-consumer fulfillment model and a seamless private-seller acquisition service. Under the leadership of CEO Paul J. Hennessy, the company has taken a customer-first approach to buying, selling, and trading in vehicles.

“Given their stellar reputation, it was hardly surprising that Anomaly knocked it out of the park. From their creative work to their communications strategy and their data-driven approach to marketing, the entire team impressed us,” said Mr. Hennessy. “It’s clear that we share an uncommon ambition and I can’t wait to get started on collaborating with them.”

Anomaly will collaborate with Vroom on building the 3-year-old company’s brand and generating national awareness with its first nationwide integrated campaign. The work is being driven from the agency’s New York office. Anomaly was named Agency of the Year for 2017 by Advertising Age.

“We're very excited about our new partnership with Vroom and we are confident that we're going to do some amazing work with them,” said Anomaly Partner & CEO Franke Rodriguez. “The clients are incredibly ambitious, they offer a fantastic service for great products and the category is desperate for disruption. It's going to be fun.”
