Certifications

The digital marketing landscape is always changing and evolving. At Big Rush Marketing we make sure that we’re providing the best possible service for our clients by staying up-to-date on our platform-specific certifications. These include being one of the first agencies in the St. Louis area to be Meta Certified – Formerly the Facebook Blueprint program.

Meta Credentials

The Meta Certification (formerly called both “Blueprint Certification” and “Facebook Certification”) process is the only one endorsed by Facebook itself to test for expertise in the process of placing Facebook Ads. It is far and away the most rigorous test that we’ve encountered. On August 18, 2022 Big Rush Marketing became “one of the first to become a Certified Company.” This distinction requires excellence in advertising on the platform and certification by more than one individual.

In addition to being a Certified Company, both Big Rush Marketing cofounders hold advanced Meta Certifications:

Clayton Clark is a Certified Media Planning and Certified Media Buying Professional. He also has passed the Certified Discovery Commerce Specialist exam, an exam only available to individuals who have passed the Media Buying or Media Planning certifications.
Jonathon Becker is a Certified Creative Strategy Professional and also maintains Digital Marketing Associate Certification.

In the words of Google: “The Google Partner badge shows that specific Partners have passed Google Ads product certification exams and are up to date with the latest product knowledge. In other words, they earned it.” We have met minimum spend requirements and have passed certification exams for Search Advertising, Mobile Advertising, Display Advertising and Google Analytics IQ.
