Newsquest Media Group’s digital marketing agency LOCALiQ UK has been named Europe’s Rising Star of the Year at the Microsoft Partner Awards.
The Microsoft awards recognise digital marketing partners who go above and beyond to uncover hidden opportunities, innovative strategies, and fresh perspectives for their clients, and in so doing stand out across the digital marketing industry.
LOCALiQ works with thousands of SMEs throughout the UK helping them get the best out of their marketing, and provides a broad range of digital solutions including SEO, online display, video, social, digital PR, as well as paid search.
Through comprehensive training, innovative content creation, and advanced technology adoption, LOCALiQ substantially increased awareness, feature adoption, and revenues for its clients using the Microsoft Advertising Network.
LOCALiQ UK Managing Director Nick Ashwood said: “We are thrilled to be recognised for our dedication to helping UK businesses leverage the power of Microsoft advertising.
We identified a clear need for a deeper education around Microsoft and Bing advertising among UK businesses in our LOCALiQ State of Digital Marketing Survey. They are a key part of a rapidly evolving search marketing ecosystem and utilising them in the right way is essential to the success of our clients.
The Microsoft Rising Star award is testament to our ongoing commitment to help UK SMEs in local markets throughout the UK unlock their full digital marketing potential.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
