SEMrush Announces Finalists for the SEMrush Australian Search Awards

The wait was over for hundreds of marketing professionals when online visibility and content management platform provider SEMrush today announced the finalists for this year’s SEMrush AU Search Awards. The Awards celebrate the success of online marketing professionals in Australia. This year's ceremony will be hosted by singer, stage performer and Nine Network’s Today Extra television presenter, David Campbell, OAM, at a gala dinner at Sydney Opera House on November 12, 2019. 

Over two hundred brands, agencies and freelancers that have significantly improved their online presence in Australia in the past 12 months have entered this year’s awards, after a highly successful inaugural event last year, hosted by Osher Günsberg.

The award finalists and winners have been selected after a rigorous two stage judging process, including pre-scoring to determine the finalists and a judging meeting, where entries were discussed and evaluated in detail to decide the winning entries. 

“The SEMrush Australian Search Awards set out to shine a light on the amazing work and outstanding content produced by the very talented digital marketing community in Australia. We have been overwhelmed by the extraordinary quality of the entries this year and we look forward to finding out who the winners are. We’re planning a few surprises to make the ceremony even more memorable and are looking forward to another amazing event hosted by David Campbell,” said Olga Andrienko, Head of Global Marketing at SEMrush. 

The judging panel includes Lyndon Barnett (Vodafone), Shefali Joshi (Monash University), Jeremy Cabral (Finder) and Jeremy Brook (Deliveroo) - all esteemed senior executives in the marketing, advertising, digital and search space from Australia and all over the world.
