As recognition for its professional set-up and showcasing high growth, RDM – Ringier Digital Marketing just became a Certified Google Partner. Google certifies only selected advertising agencies, digital marketing professionals, and other online consultants. The Certification enables access to special events and trainings, industry research, Google AdWords product updates, and free certification exams and study materials. RDM is one of only three companies in Nigeria who partner with Google.

RDM, Ringier’s global provider of innovative Digital Marketing solutions started its business at the beginning of the year, ensuring that its customers are set up for continuous gain in reaching and selling to audiences online. The new certification puts RDM on the preferred list of digital marketers in Africa, highlighting its proven skills and strategy, following industry best practices, out of its hub in Lagos, Nigeria.

Mark Slade, Head of RDM: “We are delighted to be certified by Google. This sets us apart as only one of few players in Africa whose diligent operations have been recognized by Google and we are already being seeing benefits in our existing portfolio as well as new potential sales. We’re committed to delivering a world class digital marketing business and this step endorses this mission.”

The positive knock-on effects didn’t take long: RDM has already received premium leads since the qualification – demonstrating RDM’s quick turn-around times and ability to deliver for large clients. New clients include Zenith Bank (new website) and Yudala (online marketing around their store and site opening). The Swiss-founded digital partner’s also added to its impressive existing portfolio Nike, Jack Daniel’s, Wal-mart and Mouka Foam, across its website division and social media services.

This accomplishment further strengthens RDM’s goal to become the premier digital marketing agency in Nigeria and beyond.
