Transamerican Auto Parts Co. has selected Schiefer Media, Inc. as its advertising agency for the company’s 4 Wheel Parts retail chain. Schiefer will work with 4 Wheel Parts to manage media strategy and ad campaigns. “The relationship between the consumer, media and retail is always interesting, says Schiefer CEO James Schiefer. “We are excited about the opportunity to work with the nation’s largest distributor of 4x4 parts and accessories to continue to advance this relationship with measurable results.” “We first hired Schiefer Media to develop our Off-Road Adventures television series,” reports Greg Adler, president and CEO of 4 Wheel Parts. “Even though there were quick timeframes and tight guidelines, Schiefer delivered,” he adds. “I look forward to continuing this relationship in an agency capacity for our stores. Schiefer’s level of research, implementation and analysis is at the top of the ranks in our industry.” Headquartered in Orange County, Calif., Schiefer was established in 1985.
