Infoserve a Finalist at 2021 Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards!

Laura Hunter • February 2, 2021

Exciting news for Infoserve; We’re Finalists for Microsoft Advertising Partner EMEA Channel Partner of the Year, AND Client Partnership of the year!

We’re absolutely delighted to be chosen as finalists for these elite Microsoft Awards, and that our holistic marketing strategies, cohesive partnerships, and communicative teamwork has been recognised across the board. 

Channel Partner of the Year is awarded to the channel partner who has shown excellence in partnership with Microsoft Advertising. This is carefully scrutinised through the lens of engagement, search and native revenue growth, feature adoption, joint business planning, marketing partnerships, and training activities.


Last year at Infoserve, we set out to collaborate closer with the team at Microsoft; Anoushka (Partner Development Manager), and Mathieu (Partner Search Specialist). This was to increase our marketing activity and help reach several more small, and medium businesses in our local area, and across the UK.


We implemented the latest innovative marketing technologies and features to an extensive number of businesses in the UK, including reliable campaign conversion tracking and Microsoft’s Syndicated Partner Network. Delivering these high performing campaigns brought tangible results to businesses’ across different verticals.

“A long-time partner, Infoserve really goes above and beyond for their customers and it’s fantastic to see them get recognised for their hard work in 2 categories this year. Fingers crossed for the finals!”
Anoushka Singh, Microsoft Partner Development Manager

While Covid-19 continued to place strain, and economic struggle, on small businesses, we proactively engaged and built relationships across the country. We introduced interactive marketing activity and daily webinars, with our Operations Manager, Matt Wiles, hosting a weekly digital marketing webinar covering the latest insights. This provided an opportunity to create, and deliver high-quality beneficial content, and collaborate with our customers and thousands of business owners, on a more personal level. 

Client Partnership of the Year is awarded to a client and their respective partner who has shown superiority in their digital advertising campaigns. This new award takes into consideration revenue, feature adoption, and overall collaboration in areas such as marketing, thought leadership and insights.

We’re overjoyed that our work with LHA London provides a great example of what marketers can achieve through Microsoft Advertising, Microsoft Audience Network and Syndicated Partner Network

Again, 2020 has been an unprecedented, and tough year for everyone, however, the Microsoft Advertising campaigns have helped LHA London maintain great occupancy levels, at a time when relocating residency was difficult. We benefited from setting granular digital marketing objectives, reaching beyond general goals such as ‘conversions’ to more specific ones. Our Microsoft Advertising campaign helped LHA London sustain the quality of the service they provide to the community, through an increase in the number of volunteer applications. 


Our Elite Channel Partnership with LHA London is at the forefront of everything we do, so we’re more than thrilled to have aided in a significant way to their charitable cause. 

We’re so proud to be nominated for these highly regarded awards, as it puts a spotlight on the wonderful collaborative team efforts showcased everyday, here at Infoserve. While we work as one, we must highlight Daniel Lezcano and PPC his team, as their efforts have been highly integral to these nominations. 

Infoserve's CEO, Derek Oliver, commented  “We are thrilled to have been chosen as finalists for not just one, but two, prestigious Microsoft Awards, here at Infoserve. It has highlighted the excellent work we have achieved with Microsoft Advertising, and celebrates the collaborative results of fluid teamwork, strong partnerships, and innovative Microsoft features. We’re extremely proud of our client partnership with LHA London, and how our efforts have helped sustain the quality of the service it provides to the community, in a particularly challenging year for all.”

Winning the Client Partnership of the Year Award would invigorate the strong collaboration between the teams at Infoserve, LHA London and Microsoft, and serve as an inspiration to partners and businesses around the globe. 


As well as showcasing just what we’re capable of, our MA finalist position has provided a platform for reflection, to celebrate our customer wins, and a drive to excel, moving forward, in a competitive, fast-paced industry. 


The winners are announced 25 February 2021 at 4:00 PM - Wish us luck!

Do you want to have a go at SEO (search engine optimisation), but keep getting lost amongst all the jargon and technical terms? You’re not alone.

Consistency in web design is essential. Why? Not only does it make your website look professional and trustworthy, but it also ensures that users can interact with it easily, which increases conversion rates.

As web design experts, Infoserve knows all about it. And we are going to share some top tips on how to make sure your website is adhering to structural patterns that are proven to boost engagement.

When we discuss web design or copywriting with a client, one of the questions Infoserve will always ask is: ‘what are your USPs?’ However, we have noticed that there has been some discourse online regarding the relevance of USPs in modern marketing, and whether they really hold as much value in 2024. With an overload of marketing messages and customers bombarded by choices online, some argue that USPs are no longer effective in grabbing attention. But, when standing out against your competitors has become even more of a challenge, can we really afford to let them go?

Contact pages are often overlooked by business owners and, at Infoserve , we believe the reason for this is because they seem like the least exciting page on a website. Many people think that all it takes to create a solid contact page is to add your contact details, a form to fill, and a little bit of text encouraging your customers to get in touch. And, sure, these features are essential. But there’s so much more to it than that.

The preconception that businesses only make profit in the fourth quarter is a common trap that many new e-commerce companies fall into. It is true that many shops, particularly bricks and mortar shops, will make the bulk of their annual profit in the final months of the year due to the Christmas shopping rush, but this doesn’t mean that it is impossible for profit to be made during the rest of the year. This is for many reasons including the fact that Christmas is only celebrated within certain cultures, and the need for products doesn’t suddenly stop once January comes around. So, how do you ensure you’re reaching your customers outside of this peak selling period? Let’s take a look.
