One award was for SuperMedia’s groundbreaking mobile app, EveryCarListed; the other for its innovative search-marketing service, Inceptor. SuperMedia’s EveryCarListed iPhone app was recognized in the Mobile Platform or App category, which highlights excellence in mobile media execution, such as mobile display, SMS and mobile streaming video advertising. The EveryCarListed app makes car buying less confusing and intimidating by offering consumers instant access to information they need to purchase a car with confidence. The tool enables shoppers to search local information about new, used and certified vehicles; compare prices and mileage; locate dealers and map directions; access CARFAX Vehicle History Reports™ and call or email dealerships directly from the app. Buyers can also research cars right from the dealer’s lot using a vehicle identification number (VIN) or stock number.

In addition to EveryCarListed, SuperMedia’s best-in-class search engine marketing service, Inceptor, was honored with the Search Marketing Award for its work with Kaz USA, a global leader in health care devices and home comfort products. Inceptor created a highly successful, proactive campaign for the company leveraging pay per click (PPC), comparison shopping engines (CSE) and search engine optimization (SEO). The result was a significant increase in sales as well as increased traffic to the client’s website. “Inceptor and EveryCarListed are just two of the innovative and effective solutions SuperMedia offers to connect local businesses with consumer purchasers through online, mobile, social and print media,” said Mat Stover, chief marketing officer, SuperMedia. “SuperMedia employees earned this recognition for staying in close touch with the evolving technologies and methodologies they can harness to best meet the local commerce needs of businesses and consumers.
