Digital paid media investments done well can be enormously efficient, effective, and profitable. Paid media done poorly—even somewhat poorly—can drain marketing budgets in the blink of an eye.
What is Paid Media?
Paid Media encompasses all paid advertising online.
- AdWords & Bing
- Programmatic display
- Video ads
- Social Media advertising (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.)
- Shopping campaigns on Google and Bing
- Amazon Sponsored Products
- Pandora & Spotify
We are one of only 3% of agencies in North America to earn Premier Google Partner status. This gives us access to dedicated Google employees, exclusive beta programs, and exclusive events. Additionally, we are proud that ¼ of our agency are certified AdWords Specialists—meaning they have passed all five of Google’s specialty certification exams.
