Cox Automotive Europe
Transforming Cox Automotive’s digital guidelines to unify a 20+ brand portfolio.

A better-connected future
From electric vehicles to automation, the automotive industry is moving – rapidly. More than ever, connected data is driving business decisions in the consumer market. And if you buy, sell, or manage vehicles for a living, you're likely no stranger to Cox Automotive.
To meet ever-shifting customer needs and solidify its position as the world's largest service provider, Cox Automotive is transforming its digital customer experience in Europe.
We developed a new digital first identity to bring together a vast portfolio of interconnected products and services.

The must-follow brand
The company's 125-year legacy would be the building blocks for a digital identity that was kinetic, dynamic, and always up to date.
Cox Automotive and Great State collaborated on a creative direction that would incorporate the existing logo, while refining the look and feel for all European markets.

Pan-European appeal
A Swiss typeface, precise grid, and revised colour palette challenge customer perception, presenting Cox Automotive as contemporary, interconnected, and seamless.
Representing the flow of dynamic data from one business to another is a visual unifier – a streamlined X with a pulse of light coursing through.
A mobile-first website with thoughtful micro-interactions and motion principles encourages a free-flowing, user-centred experience, connecting compelling insights and effective solutions to new business leads.
Gone are the cold car showrooms and dense, long-form copy. Aspirational photography with a continental tilt highlights the next-generation end consumer. And a sophisticated and insightful tone of voice guides customers seamlessly on social, CRM, and site.
In the 6 weeks since go live, Cox Automotive have enjoyed 48% more interactions and 24% increase in users.
“Great State’s talent for boosting our European brand with digital-first values and exceptional creativity has been impressive. Plus, they delivered everything on super tight deadlines!”
