OMG named Best Global Large PPC Agency at the Global Search Awards 2026

Online Marketing Gurus has been named Best Global Large PPC Agency at the Global Search Awards 2026.

The award recognises the work of OMG’s PPC team, now more than 30 specialists managing campaigns for clients in Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, the United States and Europe. The team’s services cover Google Ads, Microsoft Bing Ads, ChatGPT Ads, YouTube Ads, Google Shopping, programmatic advertising, and remarketing and retargeting. OMG USA General Manager Ryan Alborough represented OMG at the awards night in Dublin.

"Spanning six global regions, Online Marketing Gurus delivered excellent work throughout the year. Internal investment into proprietary platforms and innovation in AI ads shows a real understanding of where search is heading," the judges said.

The proprietary platforms the judges refer to include Gurulytics, the reporting platform OMG built to give clients clear visibility of campaign performance, while the AI ads work centres on ChatGPT Ads, which the team has been testing and running as more search activity moves into AI driven results.

That work draws on close relationships with the major platforms. OMG is a Google Premier Partner for 2026 and an iGAP partner, and works with Meta, Microsoft and Pinterest. As a TikTok Gold Partner, the team gets access to product developments and performance insights across search and video formats. On the organic search side, OMG holds enterprise level relationships with Semrush and Ahrefs.

Global CEO Andrew Raso said the award reflects how much the agency and its teams have grown over the past year.

“I’m incredibly proud of the team. Over the past year we have moved into new markets, grown our specialist teams and kept lifting the standard of the work we deliver for clients. Seeing our paid media team win at this level, with our SEO team and client campaigns shortlisted alongside them, says a lot about the people behind the work,” he said.

OMG was also shortlisted in five other categories this year, including Best Use of Search: Real Estate and Property (Large) and Best APAC SEO Campaign, both with PMC Property; Best Global PPC Campaign (Large) and Best European PPC Campaign, both with TENGA EU; and Best Global Large SEO Agency.

These shortlists follow two recent award wins including: APAC Search Awards 2025 – Best Use of AI in PPC and the Global Agency Awards 2025 – SEO Agency of the Year.

Congratulations to the teams involved, and to PMC Property and TENGA EU for the work recognised at this year’s awards.
