A week on the international awards stage ended with a bang in Dublin, as the winners of the Global Search Awards 2026 were announced. The day after our silver win in Ibiza, we stepped all the way up to the top of the podium in Ireland! Searchmind and Organic Basics won the coveted gold award in the category Best Use of Search: Fashion: Large.
Against the current: human quality beats AI mass production
Earlier this summer, we were shortlisted in four strong international categories for our work with Organic Basics. Going all the way to gold in such a strong international field of fashion brands is a huge recognition of our SEO approach.
In their citation, the judges highlighted how the campaign went against the strong trend towards automated AI content:
"Challenging the trend towards AI-generated content, this campaign prioritised high-quality, intent-led experiences. Combined with smart technical optimisation, the approach delivered outstanding organic growth on a modest budget." The judges, Global Search Awards 2026
Recognition of the mindset means more than the trophy
Behind the SEO partnership with Organic Basics and the campaign's technical and content strategy is our SEO Tech Lead, Alexander Achenza.
For him, the award is proof that taking care pays off:
"This award is especially important to me, not only because we deliver strong SEO results for the client's business, but because some of the industry's most skilled judges recognise my human-over-AI approach. It is about the quality of taking care and swimming against the current rather than just mass-producing. That craft and the recognition of the mindset mean far more than the trophy itself." Alexander Achenza, SEO Tech Lead at Searchmind
Two wild days: from European silver to global gold
The prize in Dublin was won directly following Tuesday's ceremony in Ibiza, where Searchmind took Silver as eCommerce Agency of the Year 2026 at the European Agency Awards.
Bringing home two of the industry's most prestigious international awards within 48 hours is a fantastic pat on the back for the entire team. It underscores that our integrated performance model and uncompromising quality hold their own at the very top of the global elite.
