Here’s few of our recent partnership highlights:
AdDiego
In preparation for the Q4 holiday shopping rush, CPC Strategy successfully executed “AdDiego 2017” our in-person, full day conference.
Sponsored by Google, the invite-only event gathered 100+ brands and professionals in downtown San Diego on August 24th to discuss cutting edge PPC, Paid Social and Amazon strategies.
Although CPC Strategy is known as one of the leading advertising agencies in the country, this was our very first event for PPC professionals and brands.

Held at the sky-level University Club Atop Symphony Towers, the conference featured experts and innovative speakers from Jerome’s Furniture, REEF, prAna, Google and more!
Google, REEF & CPC Strategy Surf Day:
REEF joined CPC Strategy in February 2016 with the objective of acquiring new customers, increasing reef.com e-commerce revenue, and improving brand awareness. To celebrate our partnership success – Google hosted a “surf and strategy” session for REEF and CPC Strategy.
We covered everything from how to acquire new customers to sophisticated campaign development.
If only our surfing was as good as our PPC strategy – then we’d all be Kelly Slater by now.
Google & CPC Strategy Video Series:
Another major perk of being a Google Premier Partner is being able to visit Google headquarters to create new media formats including the video series below.
In the following video guide, Christina Berry, our Agency Development Manager at Google & Lew Brannon, Senior Paid Media Manager at CPC Strategy team up to discuss valuable tactics to improve your Google Shopping Ad Strategy in 2017.
