Another award for Superbreak.com and bigmouthmedia

February 15, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Bigmouthmedia, the world’s largest independent search engine marketing company, walked away winners with Superbreak.com at the recent Technology for Marketing and Advertising (TFM&A) Awards held on February 6th, 2007 in London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. Superbreak – the online travel company, won the award for ‘Best Use of Search Optimisation/Search Marketing’, another accolade for what has been a very successful campaign which went live in May 2005. Held in place by an ongoing affiliate campaign and email marketing, bigmouthmedia and Superbreak have already been credited with an award at the IMA Awards in 2006, again for the ‘Best Use of Search Marketing’.

Organic Search Engine Marketing is the catalyst of Superbreak’s online marketing activity, and bigmouthmedia and Superbreak have been working with the aim of becoming the number one short break website whilst achieving search engine dominance. Superbreak’s Internet Manager, David Ranby, says the company’s online exposure is rapidly transforming the short break specialist from a ‘brochure based company with a web presence to a web-based company with a brochure’. In a market place where PPC listings can be expensive, a widespread organic SEO campaign with thousands of geographically targeted keywords has proven again to be the answer.

Senior Account Manager for Superbreak, Finlay Clark of bigmouthmedia said of the win. “This really is fantastic news; it is great for Superbreak as it reiterates how an ongoing search engine optimisation strategy combined with continued implementation can achieve great ROI in the competitive travel vertical. Also it is great for bigmouthmedia, we have a dedicated team of over 50 search professionals who work hard to achieve results for all our clients and it is wonderful when that success in the market place is recognised.”

Superbreak now holds the number one Google position for ‘weekend breaks’, ‘short breaks’ and combinations of these keywords alongside all target destinations. Superbreak shows a consistent pattern of performance in the highly competitive travel market across a choice of leading search engines.
