As one of only six licensed partners in Switzerland, we would like to share important news from the Google Marketing Platform (GMP): Starting in December, a new pricing model will be in place that simplifies pricing and reduces costs. This is good news for customers but also an exciting opportunity for those interested in the marketing platform.
The sovereignty over user data collected on the internet is also an important point from a marketing perspective. This is the only way for companies to have control over the use of this data themselves on the one hand and to use it specifically for advertising on the other. To meet needs such as ownership over marketing data and efficient, digital advertising campaigns, we recommend that companies work with ad tech solutions like the Google Marketing Platform. It makes the most sense if they license them for themselves via a reseller.
As one of the leading platforms, GMP is particularly suitable for medium-sized and larger companies with highly frequented websites and apps. The data management is centralized and the individual tools are optimally coordinated. Further advantages are the cross-engine management and a comprehensive media inventory, including the option to buy YouTube inventory.
One fee level per module
Despite many advantages, GMP has also had one shortcoming so far: the tiered pricing model, in which fees could vary from month to month, could make cost planning more difficult. Good news on the pricing front: Starting December 2020 there will be only one fee level per GMP module. GMP will also become cheaper: As an official Swiss reseller of the digital marketing solution, Webrepublic will also pass on these new conditions to its customers. For companies working with Google Ads up to now, this adjustment is a good opportunity to upgrade to GMP to optimize their marketing game.
In 2019, Webrepublic was the first GMP reseller in Switzerland to offer the complete marketing stack. Since then, the agency has met all certification criteria, including professional digital campaigning, data analysis, website testing, and optimization. As a certified sales partner, we can issue licenses for all products of the Google Marketing Platform. Our teams are technically up to date and are very familiar with the services around the platform. To meet different requirements, we offer both individual services and integrated solutions from a single source.
