Google Canada reveals winners for inaugural Google Search Honours Awards

Today, Google Canada is announcing the winning Canadian advertisers and agencies selected for the inaugural Google Search Honours Awards, celebrating those who are using AI-powered advertising to propel their business forward. 

There are plenty of awards that recognize flashy brand campaigns, but Search marketing doesn’t get the same recognition despite its impact on driving business results. The Google Search Honours Awards were created to celebrate brands and marketers using Google’s AI-powered ads to reach new audiences, maximize their spends and push the boundaries of what their campaigns can achieve.

On September 14, Google announced the shortlist, and six winners were announced at the awards celebration on Thursday November 2.
