Google’s Agency Discount? Does it exist in the US?

Does anyone know if Google has agency discounts for US agencies? I know that they give a token promotional credit, but for an agency that manages a couple million dollars in advertising, that $100 promo coupon isn’t that exciting. The reason I ask is that they stopped doing it in Europe, and I wanted to double-check that they didn’t offer it in the US.

Yahoo! could start making some headway with an agency discount, I think that it would be a quick way to spur favor with agencies that don’t support them. Microsoft too. Currently, we don’t support Live because its hard to justify managing a 3rd-account to increase reach only marginally. You know what a game-changer would be? If Live launched a tool that grabbed your Google account, and recreated it perfectly in their system.

In any case, the article that spurred this is from a site called “SEM Report Card”, the story is here.

As the leaves change here in New England, our thoughts turn to the holiday season and the change in buying behavior. We're excited about retargeting & behavioral targeting, we're expecting conversion rates to go through the roof and purchase intent to shift from "what do I want?" to "what should I get Mom?".

In agency news, we've paved the Road to Exclusive for Chris Brown, defended the genre with Say Anything & helped Soulja Boy superman his release. We're excited to baptize E for All & launch Nicole Scherzinger into pop-culture orbit. Christi, our new Business Development Associate, is setting up pitches/meetings left & right! Jason Frank is working 22 hours a day, Jason Carrasco's SEM department is running at full-tilt and Laura is becoming the most sought after designer in music. Most importantly, though, the plans for our annual company bash in Miami are being finalized.

Now, that's what I call a SearchParty!
