March 6 - El Diario Vasco launched its small business digital marketing and advertising offering based on SeoSamba’s marketing automation software framework.

To build its digital advertising services, El Diario Vasco turned to SeoSamba’s private-label, website-building technology and multi-tenant marketing automation platform.

“In today’s local and regional press market, newspaper brands need to leverage their brand and assets with cutting-edge and exciting digital marketing offers to increase digital advertising’s share in their revenue mix and complete their digital transformation,” said Roberto De Celis, director of Digital Business at Vocento. “SeoSamba offers an integrated digital marketing execution framework combining customizable, state-of-the-art software with a responsive services organization that we have simply not found anywhere else.”

Transforming a decades-old print ad and classified revenue-based business into the digital environment is not easy. That’s where SeoSamba, a vertically integrated marketing automation software and services provider with a presence in United States and Europe, comes into play.

Offering the marketing software as private-label is just the start. Organizations need to support custom monetization and business models; offer a competitive advantage to small business advertisers through all major channels; offer organic traffic, pay-per-click PPC, and display advertising; facilitate digital asset construction and management such as websites and mobile apps, while providing simple reporting to end-users; and comprehensive and advanced management and reporting capabilities to newspapers brands.

El Diario Vasco’s Local Digital Kit includes a ready-to-use, search-engine-optimized mobile responsive website, search engine marketing, display advertising, retargeting, directory presence, call tracking and a real-time reporting panel at competitive prices, from €165 to €220 monthly.

“No other asset is more important than our brand,” said De Celis. “And being able to deliver tangible results to small business advertisers is paramount to our future on-going success. There are lots of marketing solutions around the world, and we vetted them all carefully, but only one had a patent-pending on search engine optimization execution and was yielding immediate results, both sizeable and measurable. That’s why we chose SeoSamba.”

“We are thrilled to welcome El Diario Vasco to our client family,” said SeoSamba CEO Michel Leconte, “and help them deliver high-performance marketing solutions to their local small business advertisers.”

“When it comes to digital transformative projects, not only do you need to make it happen, but it needs to happen fast and efficiently, and that’s exactly what SeoSamba has done for us” said De Celis.
