PCG Companies

What PCG Companies does

PCG Companies (operating as PCG Digital) is a full-service automotive digital marketing agency founded in 2005 and headquartered in Eatontown, New Jersey. The firm delivers integrated digital marketing services—local SEO and content, paid social advertising across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, search engine marketing on Google and Microsoft, and dynamic vehicle inventory advertising—to automotive dealerships and multi-location dealer groups across the United States. Its technology stack is built around Google Analytics 4, Google Business Profile optimization, and a proprietary Customer Data Platform (CDP) integrated with OEM Co-Op advertising programs. The company differentiates through a dealer data-ownership model in which clients retain ownership of their marketing data, resources, and technology even if they leave the agency, and assigns each full-service client a dedicated personal team of five specialists with monthly reporting.

The agency serves dealerships of nearly every major automotive manufacturer—Subaru, GM, Toyota, VW, Ford, Nissan, Honda, KIA, Audi, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Jaguar—and operates within 18 OEM Co-Op program approvals. Its go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging dedicated account managers, "Request a Demo" calls to action, free digital audits, and the PCG Value Quiz as top-of-funnel lead generation. The business model is recurring service-fee based with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing customized per dealership. Recent product expansion includes a Strategic Marketing Advisor consulting service, an RV Marketing vertical offering, and certified TikTok and Microsoft Advertising capabilities. The company is founder-led (Brian Pasch as Founder, Glenn Pasch as CEO) with a recently formalized executive team including a CRO and CFO.
