01The Client

Long Island's luxury automotive family since 1958

Rallye Motor Company traces back to 1958, when Peter Terian opened an imported car service garage in Sea Cliff, New York. What started with Maserati and Porsche grew into four marques on Long Island's North Shore: Rallye BMW, Rallye Motors Mercedes-Benz, Rallye Lexus, and Rallye Acura, all under one family name.

Today President and CEO Juliana Curran Terian leads the group. In late 2025 Rallye brought on Ruckus as its marketing management partner, tasked with unifying four storied showrooms under one master brand and running the media, social, and always-on engine behind all four stores.

02The Challenge

A quiet name behind four loud showrooms

Each store had built its own reputation brilliantly, flag by flag, but the Rallye name itself, the family's real advantage, went undersold across all four dealerships. New competitors and rising media noise across Long Island's wealthiest zip codes demanded a stronger, more unified voice behind every showroom.

Dealership marketing usually means inventory and offers, price cuts and financing deals. A 65-year luxury institution needed brand storytelling instead, something that spoke to the family behind more than six decades of the region's best marques and the people who run each store.

03Make It Rallye

Make It Rallye

Ruckus built the platform around a rallying cry: whatever you drive, wherever you are on the North Shore, make it Rallye. The launch centered on What It Means, a documentary-style anthem film shot at all four dealerships with the actual people who run them, not actors.

The hero campaign followed store by store, one dedicated production day each at BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Acura, with a documentary film crew and stills photographer working side by side through showroom floors, service bays, and out to the North Shore waterfront, so every frame is really Rallye.

04The Media

A media plan built for ten zip codes

Television, streaming, audio, display, billboards, and print now speak in one voice. Connected TV runs across Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Discovery+, and NBCU, paired with streaming audio on Spotify, SiriusXM, and Pandora, plus programmatic display tuned for high dwell time and reach across the daily commute.

Every impression is targeted to ten of the North Shore's highest value zip codes, from Manhasset to Woodbury and Roslyn to Syosset, with monthly reporting that reads results down to the postal code and feeds directly into the following month's media plan.
