Calibre9 is thrilled to have kicked off the new year with a momentous victory at the APAC Search Awards!

The evening of January 31 at Zinc, Federation Square was truly memorable as we took home the Best Use of Search — Retail eCommerce (SEO) award for our campaign with Ghanda.

Six Prestigious Nominations

This was Calibre9’s first submission to the APAC Awards, so it’s doubly exciting to have received an accolade for our efforts. It’s a testament to the unwavering dedication of our team as well as the clients we’re fortunate to collaborate with each day.

Calibre9 received six nominations across the following five categories:

1. Best Use of Search – Retail eCommerce (SEO) – WINNER

2. Best Use of Search – B2C (SEO)

3. Best Use of Search – Fashion

4. Best Low Budget Campaign (SEO)

5. Best SEO Campaign (2 nominations)

We believe that a successful SEO campaign requires a thorough understanding of the business and its unique goals, as well as careful planning, thoughtful scheduling, and strategic execution.

“It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Ghanda. They are collaborative, eager to explore new opportunities, and quick to act on advice. We also need to thank the team at Convert Digital, who are responsible for the impressive Ghanda site build and ongoing dev support”.Grant Ferguson, General Manager, Calibre9

Judges comments:

“This campaign boasted robust objectives and budgets, yielding truly impressive results. The noteworthy increase in key metrics represented commendable achievements, underscoring the campaign’s effectiveness in utilising SEO to drive substantial growth in the competitive fashion eCommerce space.”

Exciting Times Ahead

Over the past year, Calibre9 has experienced considerable growth and expanded our client offerings. We have worked with more clients than ever before, and as a growing agency, we are incredibly proud of our achievements in such a short time.

Receiving recognition like the APAC Awards means more than just winning. It provides a platform for budding agencies like us to showcase our capabilities. It’s a stepping stone to success and an opportunity to grow even more.

“We are incredibly honoured to receive this prestigious eCommerce SEO award from the APAC Search Awards. While I’m super pumped for the business to get this award, I’m happier that the amazingly talented team that drove the result got the recognition they deserved.

A lot of hard work goes into any campaign, but this one is special — their client-centric approach to SEO and drive to deliver tangible outcomes is what won it for us, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Our congratulations also go out to all the other finalists for their remarkable contributions and for setting high standards in the industry.”Josh Thomson, Founder, Calibre9
