NP Digital Wins Three Drum Search Awards in B2B, Consumer Services, and Media and Entertainment

NP Digital, a global leader in end-to-end performance marketing, has won three The Drum Awards in Search for its strategy and performance on behalf of three clients in different industries. In each campaign, the agency applied its research-driven, integrated SEO, content, technical and strategy to surpass its clients’ growth objectives.

“It is the trust in our expertise and in the partnership with our clients that enables the type of award-winning creative and integrated solutions that yield double and triple digital business growth,” said Mike Gullaksen, CEO of NP Digital. “We’re honored to be recognized alongside our clients and to have a hand in their success.”

The three The Drum Search Awards handed out to NP Digital this year include:

B2B for Verint: Won for quickly boosting traffic by overcoming migration obstacles with creative solutions and best practices. The strategy resulted in a 210% increase in non-branded organic search clicks, a 32% increase in all organic clicks, and a 33% increase in keywords ranking in top 10 positions.

“NPD delivered actionable advice on both technical and on-page SEO, which has been transformative for our site. We’ve seen triple-digit increases in non-branded clicks to the site and continue to look to NPD to elevate our investments in organic search,” said Jasen Williams, the global vice president of corporate marketing at Verint.

“Google updates hit hard, and we needed to turn things around quickly. I challenged NPD and our internal team to map out a strategy that would get us back to growth, and they overdelivered! NPD has been a true partner from the very beginning,” said Jon Lewis, the vice president of brand and content marketing at Universal Technical Institute.

Media and Entertainment for CNN Brasil: Won for its creative approach to building long-term relevance in the local Brasilian market.
