Our Award-Nominated Work

This year, we’re thrilled to be shortlisted in two categories at the APAC Search Awards:

  • Best Use of Content Marketing
  • Best Use of Search – FMCG

Our entries showcase the work we did for Ingham’s Farm to Fork with Manu campaign, a multi-channel initiative designed to grow an online audience and engage them with value-driven content. The campaign brought Ingham’s Always Good messages, animal welfare, sustainability, and product quality, to life through an episodic video series featuring celebrity chef Manu Feildel, complemented by recipe content and interactive promotions.

The challenge was clear: in a competitive FMCG market, we needed to increase organic visibility, drive engagement, and boost conversions, all while staying true to the brand’s voice and values.

Here’s what we did:

  • Deep Audience Insights: Conducted research to understand consumer behaviour and search intent, shaping content themes around what audiences truly care about.
  • Content That Converts: Delivered a content strategy combining episodic video storytelling, recipe blogs, and a downloadable e-book, all optimised for SEO.
  • Technical SEO Excellence: Enhanced site performance and crawlability to support high-volume traffic from paid and organic channels.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Monitored KPIs across paid, organic, and influencer activity to refine tactics and maximise ROI.

The outcome?

  • Significant organic traffic growth
  • Uplift in keyword rankings across priority categories
  • Improved engagement metrics and conversion rates

This project wasn’t just about numbers, it was about creating a seamless, valuable experience for consumers, from discovering recipes to engaging with Ingham’s brand story. It also demonstrated the power of integrated marketing, where storytelling and search strategy work hand-in-hand to deliver exceptional results.
