The awards honour individuals and organisations behind some of the most impactful, innovative and performance-driven work from Bing Ads’ Partners in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Web Profits is part of a select group of top-performing Bing partners to act as trusted advisors to their growing customer base for search advertising opportunities with the Bing Network. This enables Web Profits to enhance the expertise and service provided to clients through exclusive access to training, marketing and technology development.
The recognition follows the biggest year in Web Profits history in which it opened two international offices. In the second half of 2016 it started operations in the highly competitive US market in partnership with leading American digital marketer Sujan Patel. That was followed by opening its doors in Singapore on the request of long term client Bellamy’s Organic.
Paul Sprokkreeff, Managing Director at Web Profits said: “The past 12 months has seen Web Profits accelerate growth locally and now internationally, at a time when digital marketing is becoming more complex and the demands from client for greater returns on investment have never been higher.”
“Web Profits continues to evolve its offering, through products such as our full-service Fluid Online Marketing, and this global recognition from Microsoft demonstrates that our talented team are delivering innovative and effective solutions for our clients.”
Steve Sirich, General Manager of Bing Ads added: “We are pleased to recognise Web Profits’ work with this Award as part of our inaugural Bing Partner Awards. This award celebrates the high-performing and inspiring work from our global Bing Partner Program, and the results realised by our partners and their customers.”
