Google AdWords Corporate Account - Worth it?

Has anyone had good results with this?

[Sports Workout]

I spend above the minimum to have a corporate account with adwords (you know, where a google employee takes over your campaign). I have emailed them 3 times telling them I want to sign up, still with no response.

Has anyone had experience with this? good or bad

Does overture have something like this as well?

It definitely helps to be able to work directly with the rep.. For best results stay involved and just use it as an additional resource. Both overture and adwords have a form of this.

What is the minumum monthly spend to have a corporate account with AdWords?

[Shak]

both OV and Adwords have this feature,

A lot of the time, just having the point of contact makes things so much easier.

Adwords also have teams which help in maximising your campaign performance with keyword analysis and various other benefits.

Must say the 1 of the guys in the UK who I have had the pleasure of meeting is very good (not as good as me though).

I am also surprised that you have not had a response to your request, maybe AWA can advise.

good luck

It helps - you can push creative development off to Google along with keyword grouping and campaign setup. Of course you still need to work on tweaking the campaigns but you have the same access to your account as the self serve stuff.

The may also be able to help push your ads through review more quickly to get them out to syndication partners faster.

"minumum monthly spend"

10k a month

I have emailed them 3 times telling them I want to sign up, still with no response.

Sports_Workout, sorry about the lack of response. I suspect the delay is due to the fact that one program (CPM Premium Sponsorships) is ramping down, while another program (Premium service level for CPC AdWords) is ramping up. All teams involved are doing their best to get back to everyone as quickly as possible. Sounds corny, I know - but thanks for your patience.

ADA - I'm trying to be patient but man am I angry. I have been trying for over a month to set up a premium (in other words, i have been trying for over a month to give google more money) and still to no response. If you know someone over there who I can contact directly let me know, because i'm not a happy camper!

But I gotta admit, I LOVE GOOGLE ADWORDS!

>>> 10k a month

Maybe we got a special discount. Our rep says it is $2500 a month for international (Non US/UK) advertisers.

[Shak]

aha,

the magic what is the limit.

not sure what the exact amount is, but here is some advice:

Google are after quality partners/clients, so even though you may be only spending $2,000 a mth now, in a years time it could be $20,000

Once the initial contact has been made, its very smooth sailing, and I along with many others have seen this attitude.

Just be nice, the digits (zero's) will take care of themself.

Many a corporate client who now spends over £30,000 a mth, started off by spending £3,000 > £4,000 per quarter.

Peaked my curosity, and found the info quite easily - not sure how I missed this service before.

From: [google.com ]
"Minimum spend: $30,000 over three months, with at least $10,000 per month
Minimum spend for agencies: $10,000 per client for a minimum of one month"

Does this mean Google approaches some people about corporate sponsorship, or that you can become a corporate account even if you don't meet the Google outlined budget?

Thanks for the info.
