DALLAS, Texas - Zunch Communications, Inc. (www.zunch.com), a world-leading search engine optimization, Website design and Microsoft Certified application development company today announced a strategic partnership with SEMS (www.sems.it), a leading search engine marketing firm in Italy. SEMS will now provide a new class of search and Interactive marketing services, offered by the Chinese division of Zunch (www.zunch.cn), to Italian businesses interested in targeting the Chinese market.

“The Zunch team of leading industry experts has designed the most comprehensive search engine marketing solutions to help Italian businesses tap into the booming but yet untapped Chinese market,” Zunch Chairman & CEO John G. Sanchez said. “We are confident this strategic relationship between Zunch and SEMS will greatly benefit clients that are interested in pursuing business in China. A large part of our international growth strategy is based on establishing such relationships and we’re excited to see how Italian businesses prosper in this market.”

Marco Loguercio, founder and CEO of SEMS, agreed. “Everyday, more and more Italian firms start seeing China as a source of business opportunities. The Internet is a strategic medium in order to support them to penetrate this difficult market,” Loguercio said. “Search engine marketing is the killer application of this media and one of the most cost-effective ways to generate new business either online or offline. Choosing the right search engine marketing agency to support them is vital and that’s why we decided to partner with Zunch, a market leader, to offer high quality Chinese search engine marketing services.”

The Zunch Chinese search engine marketing services that will be available to the Italian market include Chinese web design & development, Chinese organic search engine optimization and Chinese paid search campaigns. They also include Chinese Interactive public relations and the translation and localization of website content.

“With China-EU export trade topping $200 billion in 2005, China has been the European Union’s most important market,” Zunch Director of Asia-Pacific Operations Terrence Ou said. “This new partnership will enable Zunch interactive marketing services to assist more European countries that wish to enter the Chinese market or increase their current trade with the growing country.”

“We are very happy to have created this partnership out of the SEMPO community,” Zunch San Francisco Branch Manager Massimo Burgio said. “Our mission as a SEMPO member is to contribute to the growth of the search engine marketing industry worldwide, and in this case, we are helping SEMS grow the Italian search industry through the provisioning of our Chinese services.”
