Finalists revealed for The Drum Awards for Search 2021

The Drum Awards for Search recognize creative thinking, strategy, and technological innovation – setting the standard for best practice across both organic and paid. Search remains a crucial weapon in any advertiser’s arsenal and is among the most effective ways to connect with customers.

This year’s judging panel brought together an international group of senior marketers from companies such as Squarespace, Net-A-Porter, Essence, Merkle and LinkedIn. The jury was led by Miracle Inameti-Archibong, head of SEO at Erudite.

The judges got together via Zoom to discuss the entries and create a shortlist. You can see the full list below and join the conversation on social with #TheDrumAwards.

While we won’t be able to get together in person, you can safely join the celebrations on Wednesday 28 April 2021 as we announce this year’s winners at a lively virtual ceremony. Register here to get an email reminder.

When people speak to each other, they understand more than just words. They understand the context, non-verbal cues  (facial expressions, nuances of the voice, etc.) and so much more. It comes naturally, so we don’t really appreciate how difficult it is to explain what is being communicated without the help of all “beyond-words” signals. Factors that make the lives of both Google and SEO so difficult Google is trying (and often struggling) to understand what it is that their users want (without actually seeing or hearing them) SEOs are trying to reverse-engineer what it is that Google managed to understand from their users’ queries and how to build pages that meet those mysterious criteria. As Google’s algorithm is getting more mature, it is becoming even more difficult to decode what...
