Best Paid Search Campaign

MG OMD

Creating Difference that Matters with SpecsTech

MG OMD's SpecsTech campaign was a great example of using an innovative approach to create custom tools that enhance modern search capabilities. Providing a well-executed and effective strategy, this campaign demonstrated creativity and innovation in brand positioning.

The campaign's success was driven by the insight that while modern search principles have stripped out in-platform opportunities for big brands to differentiate their strategies, the opportunity still exists in custom tools built outside of key buying platforms.

SpecsTech, a suite of custom-developed tools, enabled MG OMD to create a difference that matters to Specsavers, unlocking over £43M in sales revenue annually. The campaign's emphasis on delivering unrivaled efficiencies and leveraging sophisticated automation helped MG OMD stand out in a crowded field of competitors, earning them the Best Paid Search Campaign award.
