The 2021 Automotive Communications Awards were announced during the Women in Auto Care Awards ceremony at AAPEX to celebrate the marketing achievements in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets of the auto care industry.

With 125 total entries, this year saw fierce competition for a chance to take home one of 30 awards presented in Las Vegas.

The Automotive Communications Awards annually recognizes companies and agencies that provide automotive information to consumers and trade professionals through outstanding advertising, marketing, merchandising and effective public relations. The award submissions are judged and winners determined by volunteer members of the Auto Care Association Marketing and Communications Committee and the Automotive Communications Council (ACC).

“The Women in Auto Care Automotive Communications Awards are really special, because not only do they recognize and reward our industry’s best marketers, but the awards also give back to the industry through scholarship dollars.” said Jacki Lutz, executive committee administrator, Women in Auto Care. “Congratulations to all of the winners this year. These submissions are judged by our industry’s greatest marketers, so you should really feel extra proud that you were awarded by your industry peers.”

A portion of the proceeds from award submissions goes toward the Women in Auto Care Scholarship program, which annually awards both cash and tool scholarships to young women enrolled in post-secondary automotive programs.

      Holley Performance Brands announced an expansion of its automotive chemicals portfolio with three new products: NOS Octane Booster, Holley Carburetor Cleaner and Baer Spray Brake Cleaner. Holley said the new product lineup will deliver solutions for automotive enthusiasts and racers seeking improved power output, superior cleaning and enhanced system efficiency. The announcement follows the news of Holley’s new agreement to be the exclusive developer and distributor of Cataclean products in North America.
      “The expansion of our chemicals portfolio reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering high-performance solutions that our customers trust,” said Matthew Stevenson, president & CEO, Holley Performance Brands. “By leveraging our iconic brands in this market, we are equipping drivers with the tools to enhance their vehicles’ performance, safety and reliability and strengthening our role as a global leader in the automotive aftermarket.”
      Boosting Power and Cleaning with Confidence

The company added that it delivers improved horsepower, reduces NOX emissions and promotes better engine knock protection. The sensor-safe, made in the USA formulation fills a critical role of preventing pre-ignition and damage and its significant octane-boosting capabilities make it exclusive for off-road, race-only enthusiasts looking for maximum power, Holley said. The company also said the Holley Carburetor Cleaner is formulated to be tough on deposits and carbon buildup while remaining safe for sensors, plastics and metal components. Engineered for carburetors and throttle bodies, its versatility extends to a variety of engine types to restore responsiveness and ensure smoother operation. Made in the USA, this professional-grade product is designed for both performance enthusiasts and everyday drivers, the company said.

      link hidden, please login to view added that the Baer Spray Brake Cleaner is designed to optimize brake system performance. Made in the USA, Baer Spray’s low-VOC formula removes machining oils, factory coatings, dirt and grease, ensuring a proper break-in for new pads and rotors. Baer Spray helps reduce brake noise, enhance brake bite and improve overall braking efficiency – making it an essential tool for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Holley said the NOS Octane Booster and Baer Spray Brake Cleaner are now available, while the Holley Carburetor Cleaner is available for pre-order.
