The 2019 awards took place on Tuesday 12 November 2019 at the Sydney Opera House, Australia, starting with a welcome reception, followed by a three-course dinner, and finally the awards ceremony with entertainment. The host of the evening was David Campbell, OAM, a television and radio host, versatile on-stage performer and a multi-platinum recording artist. It was the a great networking opportunity for all digital marketing peers, friends and colleagues in the industry.
The SEMrush AU Search Awards were judged by a panel of Australian industry experts and international industry leaders, all SEMrush users, through a two-stage process of shortlisting and meetings of the judges where entries were evaluated.
