Global Search Awards 2026
Globally Recognised. Commercially Proven.
Catch Me Marketing Co has been named a finalist in three categories at the 2026 Global Search Awards, recognising strategic thinking capability, integrated marketing execution, and measurable commercial results.
π Best Use of Search β Retail / eCommerce (PPC)
π Best Integrated Campaign
π Most Innovative Campaign (PPC)
Judged by an independent panel of international search marketing experts, the Global Search Awards celebrate agencies that demonstrate outstanding strategy, innovation, and measurable business outcomes.
Being recognised across three categories is a reflection of the work, the client partnership, and the results achieved.
The capability behind the nominations
In September 2025, The Notorious Collective (TNC) β a new Australian tapware brand β came to us with a bold goal and a tight timeline: build their entire digital marketing presence from the ground up and generate serious revenue during Black Friday Cyber Monday. Nine weeks away.
There was no email platform. No Google Ads account. No pixel data. No audience. Nothing.
What followed was 90 days of building, testing, and executing a full-funnel strategy across Meta, Google, Klaviyo, and Shopify β all while preparing for one of the most competitive retail periods of the year.
The results speak for themselves:

What Made it Work
The campaign wasn’t built on gut feel or templated playbooks. Every decision was evidence-led β grounded in audience research, consumer psychology, and integrated systems thinking.
The creative standout was the Win a Bathroom Design competition β a precision audience-building mechanism that attracted renovation-stage buyers (not bargain hunters) and built a first-party retargeting pool of genuine purchase intent before a single BFCM ad ran.
The founder story mattered too. TNC owner Dave Mitchell brings 30 years of renovation expertise to the brand β someone who has worked with virtually every tapware brand on the market before building his own. That story, told well on the website, directly dismantled the trust barriers that hold new brands back.
Meta generated demand. Google captured intent. Email nurtured and converted. The website closed the sale. Each channel rebuilt from scratch, each connected into a single cohesive journey.
What this means for our clients
βThree finalist nominations β across retail eCommerce, integrated campaigns, and innovation in PPC β reflect the breadth of what this campaign achieved. It wasn’t a one-channel win. It was a whole-of-funnel result delivered under real-world constraints.
For businesses considering working with us: this is what we do. We build the strategy, the systems, and the creative β and we back it with methodology that gets results.
Client Testimonial
βWhen Trish first came on board, we honestly had no idea what we needed to have in place to run an e-commerce business properly. No Merchant Center, no CRM, no database, no customer nurturing β and definitely no clear strategy. She sorted all of that out for us.
The results have been beyond our expectations. Who would have thought weβd go from starting at zero to genuinely shaking up an industry full of established players!β

A note of thanks
To Dave Mitchell and the team at The Notorious Collective β thank you for trusting us with the challenge. This result belongs to both of us.
The winners will be announced at the Global Search Awards ceremony later this year. Whatever the outcome, we’re incredibly proud of the work β and even prouder of the number behind it.
