Australian digital marketing professionals were in celebration mode last night when online visibility and content management platform provider SEMrush held its Australian Search Awards at a gala dinner at Sydney Opera House. The event was hosted by singer, stage performer and Nine Network’s Today Extra television presenter, David Campbell.
The award winners were 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 final winners.
This year the number of entries from brands, agencies and individuals that have significantly improved their online presence in Australia in the past 12 months exceeded the organizer’s expectations. “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. Some of the Awards' categories had over 40 entries and judges had a tough challenge of selecting the best ones,” said Olga Andrienko, Head of Global Marketing at SEMrush.
The judging panel included Lyndon Barnett (Vodafone), Derek Brown (Monash University), Jeremy Brook (Deliveroo), Miki Clarke (Allianz Australia), and others - all esteemed senior executives in the marketing, advertising, digital and search space from Australia and all over the world.
Peter Mead, International WordPress SEO Consultant, received a special SEMrush Award from the team as gratitude for all the activities he has done for the search community in Australia.
