For any awards programme, there’s a lot to do. Saluting the stars of your industry is not easy!

Spreading the word through appropriate channels, convincing people to enter, sourcing sponsorship and prizes, and selling tables. Creating an identity for the award programme, putting together promotional collateral, and building an online portal to manage all entries, the judging process, and coordinate online nominations and voting.

And then there is the awards dinner itself. Securing a memorable venue, organising the catering, providing key-note speakers, and hiring superstar DJs.

These are unique challenges and they require the unique mindset of Don’t Panic. Cool, calm, and confident. So confident that we actively seek opportunities to put on our own branded award ceremonies.

Don’t Panic is everything that you could ask for in a creative awards agency.

We Are Search

In 2011, we detected a gap in the market for a truly outstanding celebration of the expertise, talent, and achievement of SEO, PPC, and content marketing agencies in the UK. With the support of sector leaders, Don’t Panic initiated the most respected national search award event in the country which has gone from strength to strength.

Today, Don’t Panic produces search awards events in Europe, in the United States, and in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Don’t Panic can, with justification, be considered the International Voice of Search.

UK Search Awards

Since 2011, we have provided the UK’s search marketing industry with an awards ceremony it can take immense pride in. A distinguished international panel sits in judgement across a number of categories and, because this is our event and we set the rules, our judges are not permitted to enter themselves, making this (and all of our search events) among the most ethical and transparent digital industry award schemes in the world.

We place a great emphasis on independent expert judging. We make sure we have a balanced judging panel with senior in house and agency side communications professionals.
