The agency I founded, Hallam Internet, was awarded one of the digital industry’s highest accolades, the Google Premier Partners Growing Businesses Online 2019 award for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Since then, Hallam has continued to win a wide range of awards, and that industry recognition played a critical role in our overarching marketing strategy.

What’s it like being Google’s top performing agency?

Well, I have to say things changed overnight.

The Google accreditation paid dividends that we never would have expected. Company growth. Company reputation. Employee satisfaction.

We put into action a plan for winning top tier awards with the aim of:

• Enhancing our reputation and building our brand
• Factoring the awards into our recruitment and retention strategies
• Leveraging free publicity and opportunities for thought leadership
• Connecting with our agencies and potential business partners
• Celebrating our employee success and highlighting their achievements
