Trainer Communications Sees Big Uptick in Demand for Lead Generation, SEO/SEM, and Video Services; Attracts Exciting New Clients

Integrated Communications Firm Kicks Off the New Year With Prestigious Video Awards and a New TrainerTV Episode Featuring 2010 Predictions From CNBC and USA Today


PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - January 12, 2010) - Trainer Communications, the premier provider of integrated marketing and high-tech public relations services that create global market leaders, today announced that the firm made great strides in 2009, with new offerings of lead-generation campaigns and SEO/SEM services, as well as expansion of its video practice. Trainer demonstrates one of its leading marketing services with the latest episode of TrainerTV, which features insights and predictions from top technology reporters from CNBC, the San Jose Mercury News, and USA Today.

The combination of new services that directly support its clients' sales and recognition generated by Trainer winning two National Videographer awards helped the firm land nearly 20 new clients, including early-stage start-ups and multi-billion dollar corporations.

Driving Sales for Trainer Clients

In 2009, Trainer Communications' lead-generation and SEO/SEM services became a prominent component of the firm's portfolio of services. Trainer has developed a track record for driving traffic to clients' websites and optimizing web pages to ensure the maximum number of lead conversions. The firm developed its SEO/SEM offering not only to promote a client's website by increasing visibility in search engine result pages, but also to generate leads and secure new business for the client. The success of the new SEO/SEM practice has generated recognition among current and prospective clients alike.

Trainer's lead generation services help companies that need to initially populate a database with prospective clients or further refine prospects in an existing database. Unlike most firms, Trainer's highly targeted lead-generation programs offer guaranteed results based on the firm's Metrics Matter approach to PR and marketing services. With Trainer's creative support and strong partnerships, these lead generation services are delivering sales opportunities for clients across a wide range of industries.

Award-Winning Video Practice and TrainerTV in the Spotlight

In addition to expanding its video services and producing more than ten new videos in 2009, Trainer Communications culminated the year by earning two National Videographer Awards for Excellence in Video. The Videographer Awards, an international awards program directed by communication professionals to honor talented individuals and companies in the video production field, touted Trainer's expertise in producing a broadcast-quality customer testimonial video for G-Log (acquired by Oracle) and a Web 2.0 video for Bear Valley Mountain Resort.
