Go Local Continues Rapid Growth Announcing Hire of New Agency Director

Overland Park, KS, May 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Go Local LLC, an online local search agency, announced today the hiring of Chriss Thompson as Agency Director. This strategic hire comes at a time of significant growth for Go Local, which has doubled in size over the past year. It also demonstrates Go Local’s increased emphasis on retaining and growing their existing clients by helping clients navigate the ever-changing online and mobile marketing landscape.

Thompson comes to Go Local with 15 years online marketing and client service experience. Prior to joining Go Local, he served as Senior Manager of Online Communications at Dex One, where he helped spearhead the strategy, creation, and management of the company’s web presence and online content.

“I am really excited to join Go Local during this early, critical growth phase. Their passion for connecting businesses and consumers at a local market level is energizing and resonates well with our customers. I’m looking forward to building upon the great foundations at Go Local and to keep the momentum going.”

Jason Barrett, Go Local’s President, adds “We are thrilled to have Chriss join our team and help take us to the next level. Chriss brings a key set of skills to our agency which fit perfectly with the current strategic direction. We are anxious to get him in front of our clients and look forward to his contributions as we move the agency forward.”

The hiring of Thompson will help Go Local focus on expansion in the online, mobile, and social presence of its current client base, many of whom have yet to fully embrace a complete online marketing strategy. Thompson’s role as agency director is crucial in leading clients to capitalize on opportunities of growth within local search.

An additional hire, Jon Legler, also recently joined the Go Local team as Manager of Interactive Media. Jon’s role is to head the search engine marketing strategy for Go Local’s growing client base. Legler most recently worked at Barkley, another Kansas City agency, where he was an SEM specialist.
