About Nerd Auto
Nerd Auto was founded in 2018 from the combined vision of Louis-Philippe Villeneuve and Danny Gravel in order to answer the need of many dealers to customize their online presence to their specific identities.
Louis-Philippe has more than 15 years of experience in the web marketing industry and as a Director of Automotive Sales for a large metropolitan mainstream dealer. Danny Gravel has 10 years of experience as the Marketing Director of the largest powersports dealer in Canada.
When the company was founded 2018, Nerd Auto managed the web strategy of a few dealers and personalised their existing web portals. Those web portals, created by existing web portals provider at the time, lacked the emotion and the technology that Louis-Philippe and Danny would have wanted in an automotive web portal. Add the fact that most dealers suffer from a constant lack of time and that they have to oblige to increasing aggressive quotas imposed by OEMs, Louis-Philippe and Danny decided to take the matter into their own hands and build their own web portal platform.
