AIS Media was recognized with an Award of Distinction in the AI-Enhanced Creative Production category for “AI Overview Growth – Adelman Travel.” The winning work highlights AIS Media’s strategy to improve Adelman Travel’s visibility in both traditional search and AI-driven search results, helping the corporate travel management company increase its online brand visibility, generate stronger lead quality and drive measurable pipeline growth. SEO strategy was aligned with buyer intent, lead quality, and measurable business outcomes.
The Communicator Awards recognize excellence, effectiveness, and innovation across marketing, communications, and creative work. The 32nd Annual Communicator Awards received more than 3,000 entries worldwide and are sanctioned and reviewed by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), an invitation-only body of more than 1,100 industry professionals. This year’s AIVA jury included leaders from JPMorgan Chase & Co., FedEx, Netflix, National Geographic Society, Accenture Song, NAACP, The Andy Warhol Museum, and others.
AIS Media earned recognition for its innovative use of AI-driven content and search optimization strategies that significantly increased Adelman Travel’s visibility in Google AI Overviews and next-generation search experiences. Through a combination of AI-informed content development, technical optimization, search intent analysis, and strategic digital storytelling, AIS Media helped position Adelman Travel more prominently in evolving AI-powered search environments where many brands are struggling to maintain visibility.
“We are honored to be recognized by the Communicator Awards and the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts,” said Thomas Harpointner, Founder and CEO of AIS Media. “This award reflects where digital marketing is headed. AI is changing how buyers discover and evaluate companies, but the goal remains the same: measurable business results. Rankings matter, but qualified leads, pipeline, and revenue are what clients care about most. Brands now need SEO strategies that build authority across Google, AI Overviews, and emerging answer engines.
Harpointner added that many organizations remain unprepared for the disruption AI search is creating. “Traditional SEO alone is no longer enough. Businesses must now optimize for AI-driven discovery, authority signals, and contextual relevance. Adelman Travel embraced that challenge and became an early success story in this new era of search.”
