Wolfgang Digital crowned Champions of Europe at the European Search Awards in Berlin.
We're delighted to announce that on last week (Wed, April 22nd) we won the Grand Prix at the European Search Awards for our work with UNICEF. We also took home the “Best Use of Search in the Third Sector” award for the same campaign.
The Competition:
The European Search Awards is an international competition that celebrates the very best in SEO, PPC, Digital and Content Marketing in Europe. The awards are now in their fourth year and attract hundreds of entries from some of the leading search and digital agencies from all over Europe. The Grand Prix Prix goes to the entry which received the highest scores from the judges across all categories. Prior to this year, there had never been an Irish award winner. It was a great night for the Irish, in addition to Wolfgang taking two awards, home creative agency “In The Company Of Huskies” won an award for best use of PR in a search campaign.
The Winning Campaign:
The Grand Prix winning campaign told the story of how Wolfgang Digital “the digital marketing scientists” utilised advanced adwords tactics and applied appropriate innovations to deliver record breaking results for UNICEF Ireland. Titled #JustLikeJoe there was a rugby analogy running through the entry to assist in telling the tale.
We're bursting with pride as we have now completed an impressive domestic & european double having recently won the “Best Agency” award among others in Ireland’s Digital Media Awards in February 2015.
