Bloggerwave Inc. (OTCBB: BLGW) Announced Tuesday that it has now run more than 3,000 advertising campaigns for clients around the globe.

 

"Our international network of more than 30,000 independent bloggers has run more than 3,000 click, banner, video, music and sponsored reviews for a wide range of clients over the past three years, and the business continues to grow rapidly," noted Bloggerwave Director Ulrik Thomsen. "By connecting thousands of pre-approved bloggers around the globe with commercial clients that are looking to rapidly expand their internet exposure, we significantly boost recognition of their companies and brands among targeted audiences. Not only corporations but other internet marketers have learned to rely on the quality of our services."

 

Recently Bloggerwave was contracted by Buzzanova, a viral marketing company in Denmark, to help launch an advertising campaign for Maltesers Chocolate Balls designed for the teen market. "We used Bloggerwave to jump-start the campaign and quickly draw thousands of viewers to the client's new viral movies and webpage," said Karim Stoumann, managing director and founder of Buzzanova, an affiliate of Buzzamedia, a leading viral marketing platform in Scandinavia. "Bloggerwave not only enabled Maltesers to rapidly achieve our goal of a minimum of 1,000 views per day. It also gave the client higher page ranking and allowed us to follow all the SEO (search engine optimization) effects with graphs and stats, providing the client with advanced measurements and analysis of viewer behaviours and the effect of various interactive marketing channels and strategies."

 

What They Do: Bloggerwave helps its corporate clients harness the power of the Internet by leveraging the power and credibility of blogs to promote products and services. It connects clients directly with thousands of pre-approved bloggers around the globe, giving the bloggers the opportunity to write about and review specific products or services and include a link to the company's website. Once a company is blogged about, it increases its Internet buzz, credibility, site hits, ranking on search engines -- and ultimately, its bottom line. Bloggerwave has shot to the top in just three years of operation, achieving status as the No. 1 company of its kind in Europe and 3rd in the U.S. market.
