Global Media rebrands as bigmouthmedia in the Scandics

Bigmouthmedia, Europe’s largest independent Full Search Marketing Agency has now added Norway and Sweden to its worldwide portfolio. Continuing its year of rapid growth and expansion, Bigmouthmedia, Europe’s largest independent Full Search Marketing Agency has added Norway and Sweden to its worldwide portfolio.

After consulting with brand experts, it was felt that there was leverage in the bigmouthmedia brand with the 'mouthy' ethos and company identity popular within the Scandinavian marketplace.

Scandinavian MD Freddy Aursø will be heading up the team. "We are excited that we are becoming part of the bigmouth team. We feel that Scandinavians understand the brand - we love the humour and the 'tongue in cheek' nature that surrounds it. It is fantastic to be part of such a growing and dynamic company. The GlobalMedia group are evaluating the bigmouthmedia brand for all offices but for Scandinavia it was a no-brainer. We want to capitalise on bigmouthmedia's reputation and brand."

The rebrand comes as bigmouthmedia - fresh from its merger with GlobalMedia at the beginning of the year - forges ahead in the vertical-specific arena of SEM, developing internally expert teams in retail, travel and finance marketing online. Bigmouthmedia is now Europe's largest independent search marketing company, with over 300 blue chip customers including Hilton, British Airways, AOL and Barclays. GlobalMedia is the premier web marketing company for internationally focussed activities in Continental Europe and Asia.

Bigmouthmedia UK MD Lyndsay Menzies spoke after the announcement, "This is an exciting time for bigmouthmedia. Now with Scandinavia under the bigmouth brand we are expanding our well established European and USA presence. We currently have a strong portfolio of Scandinavian clients, so our brand is known in the Search Market - so this was a natural progression for bigmouthmedia."

It has been an exciting time for bigmouthmedia - with a host of new client wins and industry awards. These recent wins include the 'AXA Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year Award’ at the National Business Awards 2006 and ‘Best Use of Search Optimisation/Search Marketing’ with client Superbreak – the online travel company – at the Technology for Marketing and Advertising Awards in February 2007 and ranked in the top 50 of the FT UK Best Workplaces.
