Global Search Interactive loves to support agencies, worldwide! Being so involved in the online industry is also good, as many professional relations develops on a personal level, too. Also, traveling internationally, it is easy to visit partner agencies and understand their assets, their resources, their projects, their needs.

From a consultancy standpoint, it is fun to help developing skills, resources, or a full digital division for a search / interactive agency who needs to step up to compete on the market, or to be able to provide partner agencies’ clients with services that are organically bound to current projects, such as i.e. GSI supporting with social media optimization services if the agency already provides SEO services to its client.

It is also great to partner people with the same visionary approach on the Internet, and who share the philosophy of AG3NCY 3.0. So, over the years, Global Search Interactive partnered several agencies worldwide, who still are all part of the AG3NCY 3.0 family! Check them out, and visit their websites!

Agency support: This is more a personal support to the event organizers, who turned out to be friends and family, than a partnership or service provisioning / exchange. I have been speaking, moderating, running workshop, helping on the content / speakers enrollment side, and even djing (in Barcelona) at all Search Congress and Web Congress events since the kickoff of the Spanish conference series, and supported with free consultancy and advice the event organizers since the early planning days.

Project support: I love working with xister! Their focus on consumer brands and mostly on the entertainment and cultural market really stimulates me. Among the latest projects supported by Global Search Interactive are the launch of a Samsung Italy consumer blog, the launch campaign of Chrysler Crossfire and a couple of interesting projects for the movie entertainment such as the viral video campaign for the launch of the movie Cloverfield (by JJ Abrams of LOST), or the design of a social-media enabled viral ARG (Alternate Reality Game) for the launch of Watchmen the movie, which unfortunately didn’t go through with the client, but it was fun and creative nevertheless! At this moment we are currently working on together on several projects, where GSI supports xister with international online press office for a film production brand, social media marketing services (from strategy to roll-out of operations) for a major Italian food brand with international distribution, plus I love to get involved by the xister automotive team, which always picks my brain for their several clients, projects and campaigns. Did I mention that xister throws a lot of parties in rome and I love to go dance with them?
