Floresco Media has been awarded Google Partner status just 18 months after launching.

Founded in spring 2025 by Sally Hunt and Harriet Barter, Floresco Media runs paid search, paid social and performance creative campaigns for eCommerce, B2B and professional services brands.

Co-Founder Sally Hunt said:

“A key aim for Floresco Media has been to lay strong foundations for excellence across the business from the very beginning. Achieving Google Partner status already is a reflection of that.

“But, at the end of the day, this is just recognition of the work we’d be doing anyway: optimising client accounts, aligning to best practice, spending budgets intelligently, and investing in our team’s training.”

Co-Founder Harriet Barter added:

“Part of the Partner criteria is an optimisation score of at least 70%, and Google is clear that agencies can dismiss recommendations that don’t suit a client’s goals.

“We always optimise for our clients’ businesses and goals first. Being a Google Partner shows we can do that while meeting Google’s standards.”

Becoming a Google Partner

The Google Partners programme is for agencies that manage Google Ads accounts on behalf of other businesses. It has three tiers: Member, Partner and Premier Partner.

To become a Google Partner, an agency must meet Google’s requirements in three areas:

• Performance: an optimisation score of at least 70% across the Google Ads accounts it manages
• Spend: at least $10,000 (USD) of ad spend across managed accounts over 90 days
• Certifications: at least half of its account strategists certified in Google Ads, plus a certification in each product area where clients spend $500 or more over 90 days

There’s no cost to join the programme, and Google checks the requirements every day, so Partner status has to be maintained.

What it Means for Clients

Partner status gives Floresco Media’s paid search team access to Google’s product training, support and annual industry insights, along with a listing in the Google Partners directory. For clients, it means campaigns run by a certified team, in accounts held to Google’s own standards.
