REMEMBER A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN WE CASUALLY DROPPED THE NEWS THAT TIDAL WAS UP FOR SIX GLOBAL SEARCH AWARDS?
Well, apparently that wasn’t enough. So here we are again, shortlisted for eight MENA Search Awards.
And yes, we only entered eight. That’s a 100% conversion rate for anyone keeping score.
Mediocre agencies submit 12 and pray for 3. We submit 8 and land 8. Simple maths.
This time the stage moves a little closer to home, the MENA Search Awards 2025. Same standard, different postcode. If you’ve followed our work this year, the shortlist won’t surprise you. If you haven’t, that probably explains why you’re not on it.

Our nominations:
Best Use of Search – Finance (PPC)
TIDAL Digital & Mimojo – Cashback to the Future
Best Use of Search – Travel/Leisure (PPC)
TIDAL Digital & Dubai International Boat Show – Deep Depths of Success

WHY THIS MATTERS (AND WHY IT DOESN’T)
Awards don’t build businesses, great work does. But when the work is great enough, the awards tend to follow. These shortlists aren’t just trophies waiting to happen; they’re validation that you can be ruthlessly performance driven and still create campaigns with creative edge and cultural bite.
We don’t chase shiny plaques. We build strategies that crush metrics, earn attention, and make CFOs smile (reluctantly). The MENA Search Awards just happen to notice when that happens.
WHAT’S NEXT
Winners are announced 19th November. We’ll turn up, clap politely, and hopefully carry eight pieces of glass home. But either way, this is another reminder that TIDAL doesn’t just play the awards game, we rewrite the scorecard.
To everyone on the team: if you touched these campaigns (or simply helped build the standards and culture behind them), you’re the reason this keeps happening. Clients, if you’re reading: this is what happens when you don’t settle for safe.
Stay tuned. We’re not done.
