Digital agency Fat Media, which has an office in Bristol, has received the prestigious Premier Partner badge by global search engine Google.
Earlier this year Fat Media digital account director David O’Keefe was invited to Google’s Munich office to find out more about its Channel Partner programme. 
Google announced the new Premier Partner badge soon after and Fat Media has worked hard ever since to meet the standards required to achieve it.
The Premier Google Partner badge recognises Fat Media as a leading agency for developing and maintaining successful online advertising campaigns for businesses.
In return for Fat Media meeting its high targets in terms of customer care and advert quality, Google now provides the agency with training sessions, which some of the team have already experienced at Google’s London offices.
Fat Media also now receives the latest strategic insights, technical support with Google integrations and exclusive products, which can be passed on to its clients.
Fat Media managing director John French, pictured, said: “This achievement cements Fat Media’s continued drive and success in the paid search arena.
“The team has worked extremely hard to ensure continued growth in customer acquisition, retention and campaign quality, so it is fantastic to have our efforts recognised by Google.
“We look forward to expanding the paid search team and working closely with Google to ensure our clients get the most out of their PPC budgets.” added John French.
Fat Media was established in 2005 and has grown to become one of the largest agencies of its type in the North, employing 140 people.
It has two offices in Lancaster, including its head office, and a base in London. Last year it acquired long-running Bristol content marketing firm Strategy Digital in Brislington, which it now runs as its Bristol office.
Clients include household brands such as Typhoo, OCS, Samsung, Jessops and JD Sports.
