Somebody Digital has Been Shortlisted for 14 EU Search Awards. Fourteen. That’s Not a Typo

Somebody Digital has been shortlisted for 14 awards at the European Search Awards 2025.

Yes, fourteen. We triple-checked. We even refreshed the page just to be sure.

From PPC and SEO to B2B, B2C, health, ecommerce, and integrated campaigns — our name appears in just about every corner of the shortlist.

This is more than a moment to show off (though, let’s be honest, this is the moment). It’s a chance to reflect on the work that got us here, the people behind it, and the clients who trusted us with their brands across industries, languages, and borders.

Why We Enter (and Why This Shortlist Matters)

We don’t chase trophies for the sake of it. We enter awards to pressure test our thinking. To benchmark our results. To step outside our bubble and see how we stack up against some of the best in the business.

Being shortlisted for 14 categories means we’re not just making noise, we’re making impact. Across search, data, innovation, and strategy. Across sectors and time zones. For campaigns that drive real, measurable business outcomes.

And for a small agency of 23 people working across 10 countries? That’s no small feat.

A Closer Look at a Few of Our Shortlisted Entries

While we can’t recap all 14 here (we’d need a part II), here are a few entries we’re especially proud of:

Best PPC Campaign
We tackled poor UX, stiff reseller competition, and tight health-sector regulation, and still delivered a 70.8% YoY revenue increase and 46.3% boost in ROAS. Strategic bidding, precise targeting, and a laser focus on conversion turned complexity into clarity.

Best SEO Campaign
This one’s all about smart structure, commercial intent, and surgical content. We helped our client claim visibility in one of the most competitive, regulated ecommerce categories. The result was a 128% revenue growth and a 98% lift in transactions, with a site so optimised, it practically breathes on its own.

Best Use of Search B2B (PPC)
Here, we flipped the funnel. Instead of chasing trial signups, we focused on paying customers and built a campaign around conversion quality over vanity volume. The payoff was a 3X improvement in trial-to-customer conversion rate.

Best Small Integrated Agency
This one’s personal. It reflects who we are, how we work, and the kind of agency we’re building: a distributed, people-first team with a model that scales, adapts, and delivers. Our retention, growth, and 89% staff satisfaction speak for themselves.

Why This Matters to Our Clients

Awards aren’t just agency ego boosts. For our clients, they’re proof that the strategies we recommend aren’t just creative, they actually work. It’s proof that performance and partnership can go hand-in-hand. And its proof that no matter the challenge, we’ll find the opportunity.

When we’re recognised on a European stage, it validates our clients’ boldness in choosing a small agency with a big vision and a team that lives and breathes results.

See You in Krakow

The winners will be announced on 8 May 2025 at the EU Search Awards ceremony in Krakow, and yes, we’ve already booked our flights.

To our clients, team, and partners: thank you. Whether we bring home 14 trophies or just enjoy the pierogi, we already feel like winners.

Let’s go make a scene.
