Google Awards Premier Partner Agency Status to Mediagistic

Mediagistic recently has been promoted from being a Google Partner to being a Premier Google Partner. According to Google Product Management Director Richard Holden, “In order to become a Premier Partner, companies must jump over a number of hurdles. They must subject themselves to vetting and scrutiny by Google.”

The new status is a major upgrade to the agency’s status with the world’s largest, most successful search engine. Over the past few months, the Mediagistic team has worked hard to meet the criteria (which includes certification, performance, and spend requirements) necessary to be upgraded. Most significant among these requirements is the “performance requirement,” which is fulfilled by “delivering solid overall AdWords revenue and growth, and maintaining and growing your customer base.”

This distinction only is awarded to 3 percent of all partnered agencies. It also means that Mediagistic now has access to more benefits and greater support including:

• A dedicated agency account strategist that can offer strategic support with our major campaigns
• The ability to opt into Beta tests, which allows us to get our customers into Google’s most cutting-edge programs
• A dedicated agency development manager to provide strategic input and insights/data from Google’s internal tools and resources

“Mediagistic is happy to have gained this status, because it signifies an even stronger relationship with Google,” says Brantley Smith, Mediagistic’s Vice President of Internet Marketing and Innovation. “Our team has demonstrated a high level of dedication in achieving the certification and performance necessary to earn the Google Premier Partner Status. We’re looking forward to leveraging this relationship on behalf of our clients, and we anticipate being able to achieve even more impressive outcomes through this partnership.”

As the nation’s largest local advertising firm and a top 200 agency, Mediagistic anticipates that our relationship with Google will continue to develop fruitfully and productively for years to come. Even more importantly, this is opening the door to a world of possibilities for companies who decide to work with us.
