iCrossing Wins OMMA Award for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Search Campaign

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- iCrossing (http://news.icrossing.com), a global digital marketing agency, today announced that it has won the OMMA Award in the category of "Online Advertising Creativity: SEO Campaign" for its work with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.  The OMMA Awards are presented to the year's best in online media, marketing and advertising. Winners were announced last night at the OMMA Awards reception in New York.

When the faltering economy made luxury a hard sell, iCrossing developed a "Page One or Bust" search engine optimization campaign focused on page optimization and off-page link building to create awareness and drive consumers to Fairmont's website. The luxury hotel brand moved up in query rankings and gained a space above the fold based on common travel terms. Targeted keywords were tied to a 75 percent jump in revenue, a 67 percent increase in web traffic, and a 34 percent boost in first page ranks. By the end of June 2010, 76 percent of core generic keywords ranked on page one across all major search engines.

iCrossing was also named finalist for two awards in the Web Site Excellence category for the EPSON Coolville 'Deal-a-Day' Holiday Promotion, and the Vail.com home page for Vail Resorts.
