SANTA MONICA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hawke Media today announced it has been selected by Google as the first agency to join its new International Growth Certified Partner Program—an invite-only initiative designed to equip a select group of top-performing agencies with exclusive tools, proprietary market data, and direct access to Google’s global expansion teams.
Hawke Media has been a long-standing Google Premier Partner, recognized for leading expertise in Google Ads, as well as their ability to forge new client relationships and support their clients’ growth.
This new designation deepens that partnership, providing Hawke and its clients with expanded international capabilities at a time when global growth is becoming a priority for brands seeking new revenue channels. As the top Google partner, Hawke Media works closely with Google to help brands unlock new opportunities for scale through data-driven advertising strategies.
The International Growth Certified Partner Program is structured to address one of the most common challenges in marketing: scaling performance beyond domestic borders. While international expansion often appears straightforward, brands frequently encounter unexpected hurdles, including variations in cost-per-click, conversion rates, search intent, cultural nuance, regulatory considerations, payment infrastructure, and logistics.
“What works in the U.S. does not automatically translate abroad,” said Erik Huberman, Founder and CEO of Hawke Media. “This program gives us earlier visibility into cross-market performance data, advanced forecasting tools, and direct collaboration with Google’s global teams so our clients can model profitability before they invest.”
Through the program, Hawke Media gains:
– Cross-Market Competitive Insights to evaluate performance benchmarks and whitespace opportunities before market entry
– Advanced Market Forecasting Tools to model acquisition costs, revenue potential, and expected ROI prior to launch
– Direct Access to Google’s Global Expansion Team (GET) for strategic collaboration during planning, launch, and scale
– Localized Creative & Messaging Guidance tailored to regional buying behaviors and cultural nuance
– Operational Expansion Support addressing payment systems, logistics, and compliance considerations
Google selected a limited number of agencies for the program based on international campaign performance, client portfolio diversity, and adherence to platform best practices. As the first agency selected for the International Growth Certified Partner Program, Hawke Media’s inclusion underscores its proven track record of driving measurable growth across verticals and global markets.
For brands with global expansion on their 2026 roadmap, this partnership offers a more predictive and data-backed approach to entering new territories. Rather than testing into costly lessons, companies can now evaluate potential markets with modeled performance benchmarks tied directly to revenue and acquisition goals.
