Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Cartelux provides an automated marketing platform for brands that sell through distributed retail networks. The platform acts as a central repository, or "source of truth", for creative, video and display assets, which local marketers can use to run on-brand digital campaigns in a few clicks. The company positions the product as a way to keep a global brand locally relevant, allowing campaigns to be scaled from global down to hyper-local levels while maintaining brand compliance.

Alongside campaign creation and distribution, the platform includes analytics intended to give brands transparency into performance across their retail network. Cartelux describes the solution as tailorable and applicable to brands regardless of industry, retail model, technology stack, business size or location, though its published customer references are concentrated in automotive retail.

Business model

Cartelux sells a software platform to brands that operate retail or dealer networks, with the brand's local marketers as end users of the campaign-building and asset-distribution tools.

Traction

The website cites customer testimonials from marketing executives at BMW ANZ, MINI ANZ, Kia Australia, Renault Australia and Ford Thailand, and from Google automotive leads, including reference to a completed pilot with Renault Australia and video content production at scale for Kia dealers.
