As of July 23, 2017, Driven Local has been acquired by Scorpion — bringing together two leaders in the internet marketing space! “Joining forces with Scorpion offers Driven Local a huge opportunity to leverage their resources and technology solutions to deliver better marketing outcomes for our clients,” CEO and co-founder of Driven Local, Kevin Szypula said. “It’s exciting to be part of a company with Scorpion’s growth and trajectory.” Scorpion was founded in 2001 and Driven Local in 2006. Since their inceptions, both companies have provided brands and businesses with website design, search engine optimization, paid search advertising, display advertising, social media marketing, video production, and other services. Both companies are Google Premier Partners and Bing Elite Partners that have earned great reputations for their quality digital campaigns, industry-leading client retention rates, and hands-on client support. Last year, Scorpion was named Google’s 2016 Customer Satisfaction Champion for North America, as well as its Platform Innovator of the Year. Additionally, Driven Local has been recognized as Google’s Champion of Quality. Scorpion CEO and founder Rustin Kretz and Szypula say it’s the companies’ common drive and commitment to excellent service that made them the perfect match. Now they have even more leverage to give their clients the ability to succeed online and grow their businesses. “Combining forces, today we are positioned as the best provider in the market,” Kretz said. “The best talent, the brightest minds, and the people who are most passionate about helping our clients succeed. In addition to that, we now have more Google Certified Experts than any other company in the world.”
