In March 2017, Greg Roebuck stood down from his role as CEO and was replaced by the then COO, Cameron McIntyre.[3]
Australian Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo is currently carsales’ Global Brand Ambassador, a partnership since 2017.[11][12][13]
carsales is also the major partner of the Melbourne Renegades Big Bash and Women's Big Bash League teams.[14][15][16]
In 2015 carsales became the naming rights sponsor of Todd Kelly's Nissan Altima Supercar in the Australia Supercar Championship. This relationship continued until the end of the 2017 season.[17]
The company has been industry recognised for its AI projects,[24][25] specifically its photo recognition tool, cyclops.[26][27][28][29][30]
The technical stack of the company, including hosting in AWS,[31] has helped it expand into new countries: "[W]ith the microservices architecture - written predominantly in .NET with interaction provided by the RabbitMQ open source messaging system - now bedded down, Carsales has for the first time been able to expand its full platform into new markets.”[32]
In 2018 carsales partnered with CHEProximity[33] to create one of a kind car commercials for private sellers on its website.[34] This campaign was recognised within the marketing industry for its technical execution and impact.[35][36]
