Three agencies picked up multiple awards Wednesday night as Search Engine Land hosted its second annual Landy Awards in front of a full crowd of more than 300 search marketers at Edison Ballroom in New York City.

iProspect won the coveted SEO Agency Of The Year award and also took home a trophy in the Best B2B SEM Initiative – Enterprise category. It’s the second straight year that iProspect has won multiple Landys.

But they weren’t the only agency to walk away with multiple honors.

Razorfish picked up wins in both the Best Mobile SEM Initiative and Best Retail SEM Initiative categories. Those are Razorfish’s first Landy Awards. And Wolfgang Digital, a Dublin, Ireland-based digital agency, picked up its first Landys in the Best SEM Initiative – Small Business and Best Cross-Channel Integration of Search categories.

The highly coveted final award of the night, Best Overall Search Marketing Initiative, went to Edelman. Jennifer Johnstone of Piston Agency was named female Search Marketer Of The Year, and Eric Enge of Stone Temple Consulting won male Search Marketer Of The Year.

This year’s awards featured 19 categories, up from a dozen in 2015, and nearly 200 separate entries, which was almost double last year’s count. The entries were judged by an esteemed panel of search industry experts, including representatives from Google and Bing, as well as Search Engine Land’s editorial staff and contributors.

The event raised $5,000 for the SoulMates program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a choice that was inspired by the experiences of our very own Monica Wright, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last November.

Sponsors for the evening’s festivities included Google, Catalyst, and Stone Temple Consulting.

Stay tuned to Search Engine Land in the coming weeks as we profile some of the 2016 Landy Award winners and their successful search marketing campaigns.
