Formic Media Account Team Achieves 100% AdCenter Certification for Pay-Per-Click Advertising To

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Formic Media, Inc., a local search engine marketing agency focusing on small business, recently had each member of the account team take, and pass, the Microsoft AdCenter exam. With the account team all passing the exam, Formic Media has now passed all of the Google AdWords, Google Analytics and now the Microsoft AdCenter exams.

“It was really important to the team to become certified in both Google’s and Microsoft’s advertising products, as it shows our dedication to our industry and tools, as well as the team’s mastery of AdWords, Analytics and AdCenter,” states Kent Lewis, President of Formic Media, Inc.

Microsoft AdCenter is an advertising product, akin to Google AdWords, that allows advertisers to obtain visibility on Bing and Yahoo when consumers are searching for certain search queries. The team has been running Microsoft AdCenter pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns over the past 3 years for clients, so it only made sense to take the exams and receive the accreditation. In addition to receiving the accreditation, Formic has also been listed in the Microsoft AdCenter Member Directory. Formic works with a number of clients on their PPC strategy (Google AdWords & Microsoft AdCenter), including Continental Van, Prometheus, Solar Electric Power Association, Cycle30 and a number of others.

“Having the account team certified for both Microsoft AdCenter and Google AdWords is a nice accomplishment for our team and agency. There are only a handful of agencies that have completed all of the Google exams, as well as the Microsoft exam, so it’s something we’re proud of as a team,” says John McPhee, Vice President at Formic Media, Inc. “As new tests come out, or we add new employees, we’ll continue to keep updated on these tests to show our knowledge using these effective marketing tools.”

The entire Formic team is active within the search marketing industry as they attend relevant events, consistently blog, author industry articles and speak at events, including Formic’s own monthly seminar series. Formic’s work can speak for itself, just look at their case studies and testimonials.
