Member ASM Media & PR has won a second Google sales award for Mr Droogle, the Dundee-based Google virtual tours business it does the sales and marketing for.
Mr Droogle was one of 13 UK Google Trusted Photographer franchises to win a Silver Award for shooting more than 10 Google Business Photos virtual tours in October, having achieved a score of 11. It was also the only one in Scotland to win an award and got a special mention in the monthly awards for exceeding the target they had set themselves.
It\'s the second time this year Mr Droogle was won a Silver Award, having won one previously for its performance in July, when it shot 13 tours.
Since gaining the Google franchise for Tayside in the first wave of the UK rollout of the product in September last year, the Mr Droogle business has shot 61 Google virtual tours, which allow anyone finding the business via search, Google Maps, Google+, their website or Facebook page to click through to a tour of their premises in Google Street View®. Its area of operations has since grown to cover the whole of the Scottish Lowlands.
Mr Droogle’s tours have included businesses in Forfar, Dundee, Perth and Fife as well as charities. Tours due to be announced soon include ones of a Courier Business Awards winner, a leading Perthshire hotel and an award-winning Scottish florists chain. Mr Droogle has also recently secured an agreement for virtual tours of a well-known Perthshire retailer.
Speaking about the award, Mr Droogle owner Drew Cunningham said: “I’m delighted to have won this award, but I have to give all the credit to my marketing manager, Alan S. Morrison, of ASM Media & PR. Since he took over the marketing of my business in February it’s been transformed into a consistent performer, won these awards and secured our biggest deals.”
“We’re really excited about the new tours we’re set to announce soon, which include some groundbreaking features, and the new ones we’re due to shoot on the coming months.”
