Omnicom Media Group agency to drive car giant's performance further

Dubai:  Daimler, the world's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles and producer of luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, AMG and Maybach, has retained Resolution MENA for its SEO account in the Middle East. Despite the recent appointment of a new media partner after an international market review, the vehicle manufacturer decided to make an exception in the region for SEO and opted to renew its contract with Omnicom Media Group's specialist digital marketing agency.

The account, on which Resolution MENA started working in March 2014, will be managed out of its Dubai hub and covers SEO campaigns in the GCC and Levant regions. The contract includes working closely with Daimler's website developers to improve online performance and visibility, as well as optimize conversions further. Resolution MENA has already delivered a 107% increase in natural search traffic to their website site in one year.

"Finding the right partner to help you achieve your marketing goals is a complex process, one that involves mutual investments in terms of time and dedication," said Lennart Müller-Teut, Head of Marketing and Communications for Mercedes-Benz Cars at Daimler Middle East & Levant. "We have developed an exceptional relationship with Resolution MENA over the past year and therefore decided to continue working with them in this region. This decision is a testament to the results Resolution MENA has already produced for us and the chemistry in our professional relationship. We are pleased to be able to take our partnership to new heights."

"This announcement comes as validation of our efforts in elevating SEO within a brand's digital marketing and harnessing its full potential to create real business results for our clients," said Resolution MENA's Managing Director, Dimitri Metaxas. "We are very proud to have renewed our relationship with Daimler here in the region and look forward to producing more outstanding work together."
