Ceedr Caps Exceptional Year with Three Global Search Awards Following European Triumphs
Nordic growth and performance marketing agency Ceedr secured three gold awards at the Global Search Awards in Dublin last month. The agency won three of six nominations, competing against marketing agencies and campaigns from 195 countries; the wins included international recognition for leading companies from Norway, Hexagon Agility and Sprell.
This year, Ceedr has achieved its second significant success on the international awards scene at the Global Search Awards, where it was nominated for 6 awards and won three gold:
- Best Use of Search – B2B (PPC): Small — Ceedr & Hexagon Agility (The 360° ABM Engine)
- Most Innovative Campaign (PPC): Small — Ceedr & Sprell (Tiers in Heaven)
- Best Use of Data (PPC): Small — Ceedr & Hertz Iceland (Step Back to Fly)
Previously, at the European Search Awards in Dublin, Ceedr had 12 nominations, with two wins and one silver.
- Gold: Best Use of Data (PPC): Small — Ceedr & Hertz Iceland (Step Back to Fly)
- Gold: Best Local Campaign (PPC): Small — Ceedr & Hagkaup (Don't Tell the Bananas)
- Silver: Best Use of Search – B2B (PPC): Small — Ceedr & Hexagon Agility (The 360° ABM Engine)
This comes on top of previous recognition, as Ceedr in Finland had gotten nominated at Cannes and won two awards at Vuoden Huiput:
- Cannes Young Lions: Ceedr talents Salla Huotari and Lasse Lappi advanced from the Young Lions Finland to the global Young Lions shortlist in Cannes.
- Vuoden Huiput: Two creative awards at Finland’s premier annual design and advertising championship.
Transforming Regional Strategy into International Success
The awards presented at both the European and Global Search Awards continue to highlight Oslo's data-driven approach.
In all cases, the judging remarks were very positive; the jury commended Ceedr's B2B execution for Hexagon Agility (part of the Hexagon Group), noting:
Rather than casting the net wider, this campaign took a focused account-based approach that combined sophisticated targeting with intelligent use of data. The result was exceptional performance and impressive commercial impact from a modest budget.
The jury observed that Hertz Iceland's data architecture "shows how data can be used to guide actual business decisions and not merely for campaign optimisations" since it had adopted profitability-based models; this method also secured a Gold award worldwide in Dublin. Moreover, the innovative retail tiering strategy created for the Norwegian toy retailer Sprell earned top recognition in Dublin for campaign innovation after it was first recognised on the European shortlist.
Hreggviður Magnússon, Mangaging Director of Ceedr, says earning 12 nominations at the European Search Awards and six at the Global level, along with five wins and one silver award, demonstrates the consistency of our delivery. "No matter if we are expanding complex enterprise B2B programs across different countries or improving retail efficiency, our aim is always to achieve measurable commercial impact rather than relying on superficial metrics; this kind of sustained performance is only possible through full alignment and trust with our clients."
"Search has moved beyond being a standalone activity based on keyword bidding; it is now an integrated ecosystem supported by a clean data architecture, agile testing, and precise creative execution," says Kristján Már Hauksson, founder and chief strategy officer of Ceedr Nordic. "A well-thought-out strategy always outperforms huge budgets; the fact that European recognition has been turned into global success, particularly with companies such as Hexagon Agility and the Norwegian toy retailer Sprell, shows that the strategies formulated here in Oslo are competing at the highest international level."
