A Creative Department Built Only for Car Dealerships

Meet Jonathan Rambo

Jonathan is not a creative who studied dealerships from the outside — he spent more than 16 years running them. He started on the sales floor, growing from eight cars a month into a consistent 20-plus unit, high-gross producer, then moved into finance and desking with the Mabry Auto Group, where he built repeatable F&I and sales processes around profit, compliance and customer experience.

From 2016 through 2024 he served as New Vehicle Sales Manager at Pinkerton Chevrolet GMC in Lynchburg, Virginia — leading a team of sales professionals, desking deals, managing new-vehicle ordering and inventory integrations, and directing the store's website, internet performance and social media presence. In 2025 he took over as General Sales Manager of Pinkerton Chevrolet in Salem, Virginia, where his team delivered a documented $1.257 million net-income turnaround in twelve months — moving the store from an $85,000 loss to $1.172 million in net profit — driven by disciplined showroom processes, 30-day inventory turn management and the radio and digital marketing strategy that became the blueprint for AutoDealerAudio.

He reviews creative direction on client work personally — the offer, the hook, the disclaimer language and the call to action — so every spot sounds like it was written by someone who has desked a deal at 9:45 PM on the last day of the month, because it was. Jonathan also serves as Chief Sales Operator of DealerForge, which keeps him in daily contact with how dealership operations and retail technology are changing.
