Delante Shortlisted for the European Search Awards 2026!

An international jury, comprising dozens of independent experts and executives from some of the world’s largest brands, employs a rigorous, two-stage evaluation process. The judges reject vanity metrics and empty claims. They look for deep strategic thinking, an innovative approach to data, and above all, proven impact on client revenue and business growth. Being named a finalist serves as an external audit confirming that Delante’s processes operate at the absolute peak of the European market.

Our presence on the shortlist spans two categories that perfectly encapsulate the direction in which we are growing our brand:

• Best Large Integrated Search Agency (Top 7 in Europe)

This recognition validates that our operational model scales flawlessly. It proves that our Direct Contact approach (working directly with the specialist executing the strategy) enables us to effectively manage strategies across dozens of international markets while maintaining pinpoint precision and the highest-quality execution. It also highlights the massive business and growth potential unlocked by the tight synergy of SEO, SEM, and AISO.

• Best AI Search Optimization Campaign (Case: Delante x Kiwi)

A nomination in this category signals that we are staying ahead of the curve. The campaign for the Kiwi brand proves that traditional keyword-only SEO is a losing strategy. The judging panel recognized our execution of AISO (AI Search Optimization), we demonstrated how to build a Share of Answer within LLM models and secure brand visibility within the new search engine architecture (AI Overviews).

This result is no accident. It is the direct outcome of the rigorous approach to data and processes that we have been consistently shaping for over 11 years, paired with the immense dedication of the entire #DelanteTeam.

The grand finale and winners’ announcement will take place on May 20th. However, from the perspective of Marketing Directors, the most important verdict is delivered every single day, in ROI reports and climbing sales figures.

If you are responsible for a marketing budget and are looking for a partner whose ability to scale businesses in international markets is backed by the most demanding panels in Europe, let’s talk about your company’s strategy.
