Jellyfish increases certification across Google’s Paid Media Platforms in APAC

As part of our global vision to give brands a platform to perform and in our continued efforts to grow our Paid Media capabilities, the second half of 2022 was a dynamic time as our APAC teams have achieved a raft of Google certifications. The certifications include Google products such as Display & Video 360 (DV360), Search Ads 360 (SA360) and Campaign Manager 360 (CM360). This further bolsters our status as Google's Enterprise Partner with amazing outcomes of what the teams have delivered:

• 21 project samples built which include advanced features such as Value-Base Bidding, Dynamic Rich Media Creatives, DV360 Custom Bidding and Smart Shopping to name a few.
• 10 new Google badges obtained in APAC (four more to go in Q1 2023 with almost everything completed, to be submitted early 2023).
• Japan fully certified across DV360/SA360/CM360
• South Korea fully certified across DV360/SA360/CM360 
• Australia certified across DV360/CM360 and SA360
• Singapore certified across DV360/CM360, SA360 will be completed later in 2023
• India certified across DV360/CM360, SA360 will be completed later in 2023

Despite the complexity of the process, and the new requirements (minimum of five practitioners by capability, additional advanced use cases), the team managed to strengthen our partnership with Google to increase our footprint and grow in the APAC region. The resulting benefits of this strengthened partnership are inclusive of: 

• Securing our current self-service revenues through DV/CM/SA licensing
• Continuing to build a strong relationship with Google and start paid media partnership in some markets
• Build a pipeline for self/managed service clients in APAC

Kevin Geffray, VP, Paid Media, would like to applaud the amazing work that has been done by the Paid Search and Programmatic team in APAC, with a special mention to the different market leaders:

• Hyon Ro Kim, Programmatic Director
• Andrew Desmond, Senior Paid Search Director
• Jay Cho, Paid Search Director
• RJ Lozano, Programmatic Director
• Laura Jang, Paid Search Director
