“The standard of entrants this year has been outstanding,” says Serkan Girgin, Head of Google Partners, EMEA. “Identifying winners from so many incredible submissions is always a hard task for our judges, but it’s so inspiring to see the level of innovation in digital advertising firms, and how all that energy and creativity is helping small businesses grow.
