    "Performance from local marketing is a key priority for all of our brands, big and
small. Kenshoo Local is a singularly unique product, and the certification program enables
us to make the most of it to scale high volumes of campaigns rapidly and profitably," said
Rich Devine, global SVP of Possible [http://www.possibleworldwide.com ].

    The Kenshoo Local certification program, complimentary and available only to Kenshoo
Local clients, consists of instructional videos and exams. Three levels of educational
resources and exams address varying knowledge levels:

       
        - 100 Level - Onboarding and Launch
        - 200 Level - Campaign Management
        - 300 Level - Advanced Optimisation

    Once individuals study the educational resources, they can test their comprehension of
each level through an exam to achieve Kenshoo Local [Pro] status. Agencies with more than
20 percent - or a minimum of five people - passing all three levels can earn Kenshoo Local
[Pro Agency] status.

    "The Kenshoo Local certification program unlocks the potential of some of our most
powerful functionality for advertisers and agencies," said William Martin-Gill, general
