Harry Sanders, Founder of StudioHawk comments:

“I started this agency with a simple dream to help people grow, and last night was a massive milestone for that vision.

We’re coming home with 9 awards total: 7 wins and 2 silvers at the APAC Search Awards.

I see what happens behind the scenes every day, this team grinds like crazy to make sure our clients are pushing up results, driving traffic, and growing revenue, all while pioneering the next generation of strategies for AI search.

Winning Best Large SEO Agency once was a dream I barely imagined; winning it four times is just surreal.

Massive thanks to the judges for the recognition, and a huge congratulations to all the other winners, the talent in this region is world-class”

Caitlin Cheung, Chief Operating Officer of Sharewise, comments:

“When we started, we were getting zero organic leads, now we’re averaging 60 to 70 a month. It’s made a huge difference to our business. Beyond the numbers, StudioHawk has been transparent, proactive, and always ahead of Google updates. They’ve earned our trust and delivered real results.”

Safe to say, we're incredibly proud of our team, not only for our awards but for the hard work, innovation and continuous growth and learning they show day in and day out. If you're ready to see what we can accomplish together, be sure to reach out here!
