Online, December 8, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Bangkok, 8 December 2009 -- Penner-Madison & Company Limited, a Thai advertising and marketing communications agency based in Bangkok, today announced the acquisition of a new Partner, Peter Bachner, formerly from San Francisco, California who brings to the agency Web 2.0 integrated online marketing expertise.
Looking towards the future, the agency sees a great opportunity in enhancing their traditional "offline" practices with "online" components that can give their clients additional value beyond what's being offered by agencies typically in Bangkok today.
"Peter comes to our agency with true expertise in blended integrated online marketing. While most agencies 'go through the motions' of offering websites and SEO, Penner-Madison will be now able to bring blended integrated online marketing that delivers solutions specifically designed around Thai and South East Asia online realities.
Our toolbox will include multiple landing page capabilities with A/B testing, webcasting and podcasting, sophisticated search engine optimization specific to psychographics, industries and regions, brand awareness and direct response strategies and true measurement matrixes to produce results specific to our clients goals," said Penner-Madison Managing Director Ms. Chupit Chutitum.
Another area of "New Media" interest to Penner-Madison that Peter Bachner is developing involves mobile marketing. According to Peter Bachner, "Thailand has a 60% mobile user penetration and ranks second only to China in instant message usage. Additionally Thai teenagers spend on average 2.8 hours a day on the phone, which is one of the highest usage rates in all of Asia. With the rapid technology improvements in mobile phone applications I believe that we will see this mobile medium as one of the most effective promotional call-to-action tools for marketing within Thailand".
Peter Bachner brings to Penner-Madison an expertise in a number of disciplines, including database micro-marketing, strategic market planning, media cross-promotional marketing, large international sports event marketing and integrated online marketing in which he is credentialed from the University of San Francisco in the United States.
As a partner, Peter takes on the title of Director of Strategic Marketing and work in conjunction with Managing Director Chupit Chutitum. Penner-Madison expects 2010 to be a year of growth and enrichment for this Thai agency.
