Awardco has established their brand online with a strong SEO and web presence. They used Blip to step outside of their normal advertising comfort zone and to generate name recognition that was reflected through an increase in word of mouth marketing and publicity about Awardco.

“Blip is essentially the PPC of billboard advertising—they make it possible to run a billboard campaign with a budget that would otherwise not be enough for broadcast advertising. Using Blip helps businesses gain traction and increase their name recognition–especially in targeting local areas.”
