Friends since kindergarten, Mike Tatge and Brad Garlin were fortunate enough to begin working in paid search at its birth in 1998. Their entrepreneurial spirit guided them through the internet bubble burst and led them to launch JumpFly in 2003. Tatge and Garlin took a leap of faith on this brand new industry and created JumpFly to help businesses capitalize on PPC advertising and gain visibility and exposure online.

Since 2003, JumpFly has expanded, both in space and employees. The office has gone from the basement of a townhouse to a large commercial space with a brand-new satellite office in downtown Chicago. The team at JumpFly has expanded from the original two founders to 38 seasoned paid search experts. No longer a small start-up, the last 15 years has seen JumpFly become one of the premier paid search management companies in the world.  

Under the leadership of current President, Michael Marchese, JumpFly has expanded their Social Media Marketing department as well as their Amazon Advertising division. They have added call tracking to help their clients gain more insight into their campaigns and feed management to help get the most out of Shopping campaigns. They have also developed a proprietary internal reporting and account management dashboard to manage paid search accounts on a level never before seen in the industry. Everything JumpFly does is guided by the principal of helping their clients, regardless of size or industry, to get the most out of their search engine marketing dollars. The future for the JumpFly team looks bright and they will continue to grow and provide expert-level service to their clients for the next 15 years and beyond.

JumpFly hosted an in-office informational session with students from Northern Illinois University’s Interactive Marketing Technology course. NIU students were welcomed into JumpFly’s Elgin, Illinois office and received information from JumpFly staff on a wide range of topics. These bright young minds were invited to take JumpFly’s pre-interview aptitude test to give them a glimpse into what their potential future employers may require. They were also able to ask questions pertaining to their future in the digital advertising space.

JumpFly employs many graduates from Northern Illinois University, so it was beneficial for current students to hear from alumni who are working in their desired field. During the question and answer session with JumpFly staff, NIU students were able to have discussions and ask our in-house paid search experts about time management, common daily issues, whether or not they should get a Master’s degree, the importance of understanding client goals, and many more topics.

JumpFly Account Managers and Specialists were happy to be able to share their industry knowledge with these students and hope that they found their visit memorable and useful for their future job searches. We wish these students the best of luck in the future and welcome them into the world of digital advertising.

The Amazon division within JumpFly has recently announced an expansion of its Amazon Seller Central and Amazon Advertising pay-per-click management services. Although JumpFly has been actively managing Amazon accounts for quite some time, they have recently released two case studies about the positive impact they have had for their managed client accounts.

According to recent data, over 49% of all online purchases in the United States are made on Amazon. Along with this, over 72% of consumers visit Amazon to research, price check or look to see if their desired item is Prime-eligible after finding a product online. This Amazon influence over purchases made the Amazon platform the next logical step for JumpFly service expansion. As with Google Ads, Bing Ads and other paid search avenues, a properly structured Amazon account is imperative for optimum account performance. In the case studies recently released by JumpFly, their clients saw marked improvement on the Amazon platform under JumpFly management. One client saw a 26% improvement to ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) across the entire account as well as a 54% reduction in monthly spend. Another JumpFly advertiser witnessed the power of running ads on Google as well as Amazon simultaneously. A test of pausing Google campaigns caused a 31% jump in ACoS and a 37% fall in sales which shows the importance of the two platforms working together in harmony.

JumpFly is extremely excited about the untapped potential in the Amazon paid search management space and has begun actively offering this much-needed service to their current clients as well as new Amazon advertisers. They hope to be able to bring results like these to a wide variety of Amazon advertisers in the very near future.

The JumpFly office was visited this week by their dedicated Facebook Partner Manager. This visit is one of the first of its kind for Facebook as very few advertising agencies have had in-person office visits from their representatives. During the visit, JumpFly staff received valuable information on how Facebook can help drive success for their clients. The dedicated Facebook Partner Manager also provided training for JumpFly staff, which was very informative and useful.

The training JumpFly received included information about dynamic ads, attribution, the future of video, the power of social and best practices for Facebook. This information will help JumpFly better manage the Facebook Advertising accounts of their clients and will help unite Facebook advertising messages and goals with Google, Bing and other traditional paid search ads.

JumpFly is also very excited to announce that they have been officially invited to the 2018 Facebook Global Partner Summit being held in New York City October 10th and 11th. This is an impressive invitation as only a select few Facebook Agency Partners are invited to this extremely prestigious event. JumpFly Social Media/PPC Director Stephanie Shaw will be attending this summit on behalf of JumpFly and will be bringing back a wealth of information to better service JumpFly Facebook Advertising clients.
