GlobalMedia rebrands as bigmouthmedia in France

Following its recent rebrand of Norway and Sweden offices, bigmouthmedia, Europe’s largest independent Search Marketing Agency has added GlobalMedia France to its portfolio. The rebrand will be unveiled at the eCommerce Convention from 11-13 September where bigmouthmedia will exhibit for the first time. Bigmouthmedia UK Head of Search Andrew Girdwood will co-present with Michael Pean on the changing face of SEO.

Acting French MD Michael Pean will be heading up the team, and driving growth. "It is fantastic that we are becoming part of the bigmouthmedia team. We love the confidence of the brand - and behind that there is a strong company and one which is excelling in the industry with ground-breaking products and an excellent team, and we can't wait to be a part of that growth."

The expansion into France comes during an exciting year for bigmouthmedia - with the addition of Adidas and CNN to its already impressive client list. Bigmouthmedia is forging ahead retaining and expanding on its position as the leading search engine marketing company in Europe.

Bigmouthmedia CEO Steve Leach spoke after the announcement, "This is an exciting time for bigmouthmedia. With France joining the Nordics in coming under the bigmouth brand we now have 7 bigmouthmedia offices and are reinforcing our presence in the European and American market. The reaction to rebranding couldn't have been more positive so it was a natural progression for the company and its growth worldwide."

The future for bigmouthmedia sees further growth and development in the vertical-specific arena of SEM, further developing its expert teams in retail, travel and finance marketing online for customers including Hilton, British Airways, Experian and Barclays. In addition, further geographic footprints are in the development phase.

2007 has been a rewarding year for bigmouthmedia and its clients with a host of industry awards that include being named as a Financial Times UK Best Workplace, Media winners at the 2007 Fast Growth Business Awards as well as being short listed for four National Business Awards.
