Bing’s Duane Forrester won US Search Personality of the Year in 2014.What does a win at the US Search Awards mean for you and your brand? Bing’s Duane Forrester weighs in on his big win last year:
“The US Search Awards recognizes some of the best practitioners across the country for their efforts. I was extremely honored to be chosen as the US Search Personality of the Year. Such recognition from this industry was humbling and a real thrill! And while the award was nice, the ability to spend a spectacular evening with some of the smartest folks in our industry was the real reward. I encourage everyone to participate, either by entering the awards or by showing up on the night.”
