Catriona Pollard - Thursday, December 10, 2009
Leading online marketing agency, First Rate has been appointed by Ted’s Cameras , Australia’s largest independently owned digital camera store chain, to manage and drive its Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) program. 

First Rate won the company’s SEO account after a fiercely-contested bid process, involving nine other agencies from Sydney and Melbourne.

The veteran online marketing agency, which has 40 staff and offices in Sydney and Auckland, has already begun SEO on the www.Teds.com.au website, producing significant increases to the company’s natural search engine rankings and online traffic.

Tom Skotidas, head of marketing at First Rate said, “We are proud to be working with Ted’s Cameras, a market leader in digital cameras in Australia. Our SEO work has already produced increases to Ted’s natural rankings, against the camera category’s most popular keywords.  We are committed to driving Ted’s Cameras to be the online leader in digital cameras.”

Jason Robertson, online marketing manager of Ted’s Cameras said, “We went through a very rigorous procedure, interviewing nine different agencies. After a long, detailed pitching process, First Rate was the clear choice for us; their transparency, communication style, and consistent results with their clients were the main reasons for appointing them. And we are now seeing the results for Teds.com.au.”
