FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (February 27, 2023) - VI Marketing and Branding, a leading digital marketing agency in Oklahoma City, has been named a 2023 Google Premier Partner for the fifth consecutive year. Achieving Google Premier Partner status places VI in the top 3% of Google Partners in the US, distinguishing the company as a Google Ads expert to clients and the industry, and recognizing the agency's superior expertise and success in the Google Ads platform.

This month, Google recognized the achievements of top-performing digital marketing partners across the globe by awarding Premier Partner status as part of the Google Partners program.
Google made significant changes to its Google Partners program in 2022, including redefining what it means to be a Premier Partner through new, advanced program requirements and new, exclusive Premier Partner benefits to support growth and success with Google Ads. In 2023, the program continues to support its Premier Partners and their clients.

"Congratulations to our Premier Partners for 2023. These companies are among the top 3% of Google Partners in their respective countries. It's a true accomplishment, one that signals their leading expertise in Google Ads, in forging new client relationships, and in helping clients grow. We look forward to supporting them as they help their customers build smart online strategies and drive long-term success." - Marcin Karnowski, Senior Director of Ads Marketing, Google.
