Meet the Speaker: Evan Riley
Meet the Speaker: Evan Riley, VP of Business Development at FlickFusion
As VP of Business Development at FlickFusion, a breakout sponsor at UNLEASHED26, Evan Riley works at the intersection of video and vehicle sales. FlickFusion is a video marketing and communications platform built specifically for the automotive industry: it turns static inventory photos into full-motion videos, powers 360° walkarounds so shoppers can explore a car in detail, and sends personalized video straight to buyers by text and email.
His take is direct: your website isn’t a brochure, it’s a salesperson — and most dealerships are wasting it. Shoppers start making emotional decisions long before they set foot on the lot, but a wall of static listings gives them nothing to feel. That gap between the screen and the showroom is where interest cools and deals quietly stall.
At UNLEASHED26, Evan leads FlickFusion’s breakout session, “Turn Your Website Into Your Digital Salesperson.” He’ll show how video does the job your best salesperson does — inform, engage, excite, sell — so your site does more than display inventory. The centerpiece is the test-drive moment: the point where a shopper starts picturing themselves in the vehicle. Video, Evan argues, can create that feeling online, before anyone ever arrives.
Then he’ll widen the lens. Rather than treating video as a one-off tactic bolted onto the homepage, Evan makes the case for one connected strategy across the entire customer cycle, from marketplace and inventory merchandising to sales follow-up, service, retention, and the next purchase. Done right, it’s the salesperson that never sleeps.
