Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/01/2015 -- Austin-based marketing agency Catalyst is proud to announce that we have achieved Google Partner status. This certification was achieved by running high-performing campaigns meeting the required performance threshold, including exceeding the minimum spend of $10,000 within the last 90 days and passing two of three certification exams.

This elite status allows Catalyst to have advanced notice of products Google is currently beta testing prior to roll out, and allows us to proactively manage accounts and updates prior to product changes. As a Google Partner, Catalyst will also have access to privileged industry research, special events and training hosted by Google. "This is an important achievement as it allows our team to more expertly serve our customers through digital media," said Jamie Matusek, Vice President. "Our current and future customers have the benefit of key expertise from a digital team focused on staying ahead of the curve. Our customers can have confidence knowing that Google advertising experts are handling their marketing," she said.

Catalyst offers search and display advertising services on Google and is currently studying to become experts in mobile, video, and shopping advertising. These services allow clients to rank above or next to relevant Google search results on all devices, and on a variety of websites.

"At Catalyst, we are focused on being leaders in the industry by staying up to date on the latest technologies available and adhering to industry best practices," said Melissa Cornine, Digital Marketing Specialist.
