BrightTag is the Most Popular Tag Management System In The US Car Industry

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

During Digital Velocity 2014, I became interested in seeing if certain tag management systems (TMS) dominate particular industries. The first industry that I chose to analyze was auto manufacturers. Here is how I performed the analysis:

  • I began by scanning the US websites of the major auto manufacturers with Tag Inspector.
  • I then summarized the results to show the specific tag management system each company utilizes on their site.

Here are the results:

Total Number of Sites Scanned:  29
No TMS Present:  16
Ensighten:  2
BrightTag:  8
Adobe Tag Container:  2
Tealium:  1

To summarize, the majority of US car companies’ websites do not use a TMS. But, of the ones that do, BrightTag is the clear winner. Here is the complete breakdown:

This certainly is not the most complete study of tag management systems used across the auto industry, but it gives us a good indication of overall usage within the US market. There are still plenty of opportunities for auto manufacturers to embrace TMS.
