We Work For You

Pinnacle is proud to be celebrating over 25 years in business! We specialize in staffed events, hosted events, direct mail, and dealership marketing. Our campaigns help our clients sell half of their used car inventory, triple their new car sales, and bring in over 100 leads per day in just one event! Our clients range from some of the largest dealer groups in the country to smaller independent dealerships. We do business nationwide, from California to the Carolinas. We offer wholesale pricing on our direct mail. We hire top-notch talent, many of which are trained at our local dealership in Mooresville, NC to ensure they all arrive prepared for your events.
