Online visibility and content management platform provider, SEMrush today announced details about this year’s prestigious SEMrush AU Search Awards, which will celebrate the success of online marketing professionals in the Australian market.

Following last year’s inaugural awards, SEMrush is once again keen to recognise and reward the best marketing campaigns and the brightest marketing teams working in the online space, that have achieved exceptional growth and increased revenues.

The SEMrush Australian Search Awards will be proudly presented by industry leaders at a gala dinner at Sydney Opera House on November 12, 2019. Companies that have significantly improved their online presence in Australia in the past 18 months are welcome to enter. The awards are now open for entry, and the deadline for submissions is September 6, 2019.

This year’s awards feature 24 categories, and entries are open to anyone in the marketing sector in Australia, including those working for brands, agencies and also freelancers. Taking into consideration that the best practices and metrics of success are different for individual’s and agencies, the categories are designed to cover the majority of channels and industries.

“The Australian marketing community produces exceptional content and delivers great work, it’s something we want to shine a light on through the SEMrush Search Awards. It was incredible to witness the calibre of people and companies who came together to celebrate the industry at last year’s successful inaugural awards,” said SEMrush head of global marketing Olga Andrienko.

“When you’re as committed as Australian marketers are, it’s important to take time to raise awareness of the importance of the search marketing sector as an integral part of the marketing mix. It not only celebrates the motivating success of local marketing professionals, but it also bolsters the ongoing confidence of the wider industry.”

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.

The award finalists and winners will be selected after a rigorous two-stage judging process, including pre-scoring to determine the finalists and a judging meeting, where entries will be discussed and evaluated in detail to decide the winning entries.  A shortlist of finalists will be announced on October 9.
