The Search Awards is a recognized worldwide benchmark of quality in the Search Marketing industry and 2017 sees the arrival of the awards in the MENA region. The MENA Search Awards will celebrate and reward the innovation and achievements of the Search industry for agencies and brands either based in, or delivering work for, the MENA region.

Tarek Reda, Head of Digital at bfound and an expert judge on the MENA Search Awards panel, commented “I am delighted to be involved in this event, one that finally recognises the significance of the Search industry in the MENA region and have high hopes for an extremely high standard of submissions. I think the global Search community will be observing with great interest.”

Brought to you by Don’t Panic Events, who masterminded the legendary UK Search Awards – European Search Awards and the US Search Awards, this event is on track to becoming the benchmark of quality for the search industry in the MENA nations. Upholding quality and integrity above all, winning a MENA Search Award will be a prestigious honor.

The awards will be held at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai on 10 May 2017, and will feature 26 industry specific categories showcasing and celebrating the very best of the region’s leading search agencies and brands.
All categories will be judged by an influential and respected, international judging panel operating a robust, credible and transparent two-step process, involving pre-scoring and a face to face panel discussion. The MENA Search Awards is one of the industry’s few digital industry award schemes where judges are not permitted to enter.
