DMG Motors, based in Donegal Town, has been awarded the Ulster title for Best Social Media, recognising the dealership’s standout digital presence and customer-first content strategy.
Judged by a panel of automotive and marketing experts, the CarsIreland Dealership Awards celebrate excellence across marketing, innovation, and customer engagement within the Irish motor industry.
DMG Motors now joins the other Q2 provincial winners on the shortlist for the national awards, set to take place in November. The annual event is a key date in the Irish automotive calendar.
Ger Toher, Chief Operating Officer at CarsIreland.ie, commented, “The award for Best Social Media recognises the skilful use of digital channels to build trust and engagement with customers.

The creativity and digital innovation shown by dealerships across the country is a brilliant reflection of a dynamic and evolving industry. Huge congratulations to all Q2 winners.”
