Published Date 02.03.2026 Winning Best Small Agency at the APAC Search Awards 2026 marks a significant milestone for Australian growth agency farsiight, and a reflection of the team’s deliberate evolution beyond traditional performance marketing.
Founded with a focus on paid media, farsiight has spent the past several years transforming into a commercially minded growth partner for scaling B2B, technology and D2C brands. The agency now combines digital strategy, performance media, creative and data analytics to build predictable, full-funnel growth systems for its clients.
For co-founder Joshua Somerville, the award is ultimately about the people behind the work.
“This recognition belongs to our team. Every campaign, every strategy session and every optimisation is driven by people who genuinely care about helping our clients grow. Winning Best Small Agency validates the culture we’ve built, one centred on integrity, curiosity and constant innovation.”
A focus on measurable growth
farsiight’s approach is grounded in commercial outcomes rather than channel metrics. By aligning marketing strategy with business performance, the agency has helped clients like Mocka, an eight-figure brand, achieve 31% YoY growth while improving profitability.
A defining feature of the agency is its approach to innovation. Rather than being driven top-down, experimentation and new ideas are embedded across the entire team. Staff are encouraged to contribute to projects they’re genuinely passionate about, whether that’s around AI, refining reporting frameworks or expanding capabilities into new channels. This culture of shared ownership ensures continuous innovation, which is a must-have to remain relevant in our space.
Senior team members credit the agency’s collaborative structure as a key driver of results. “Innovation here isn’t reserved for leadership; it comes from everywhere, ” says Nick Graham, Head of Performance. “We build project groups that give people space to pursue ideas they care about. That integration helps us move faster, test smarter and deliver work that genuinely impacts our clients’ bottom line.”
Celebrating partnerships and people
Client relationships sit at the heart of farsiight’s success. The agency prioritises long-term partnerships built on proactive communication, shared accountability and a deep understanding of each client’s commercial goals. This philosophy has contributed to consistently strong client satisfaction and a growing portfolio of brands that view farsiight as an embedded extension of their internal teams.
Why the APAC Search Awards matter
Choosing to enter the APAC Search Awards was a deliberate decision for farsiight.
“The APAC Search Awards represent a benchmark of excellence across our industry, ” says Somerville. “They celebrate agencies that are pushing the craft forward. Being recognised among such strong peers is incredibly meaningful for our team and reinforces our commitment to delivering work we’re proud of, and work that sets a higher standard.”
Looking ahead
While the award marks an important achievement, the farsiight team sees it as motivation rather than a finish line. The agency continues to invest in talent, technology and new ways of helping clients scale sustainably. “Our focus hasn’t changed,” Somerville adds. “We exist to build growth systems that last. This award is a proud moment, but it’s also a reminder to keep raising the bar, for our clients and for ourselves.”
