Enrollment Builders' Blog

In case you missed it, this past weekend we made the announcement that Enrollment Builders has achieved the coveted status of Google AdWords Premier Partner, a distinction reserved for the very best agencies (fewer than 3%)!

• Experience/expertise managing large accounts and spend
• Continuous Track record of quality work and meeting performance requirements
• Employment of Google Certified, highly-skilled analysts

In a consumer-oriented society, each of us are bombarded daily with not-so-subtle requests being made of us. Commercials shout at us to contact companies for their services, billboards implore us to rent them with clever ways of articulating their visibility, and online embedded pixels provide ads that remind us of items we explored days and weeks before in hopes that we will reconsider purchasing them.
