Hermes Honors Algolia for Innovation as the Company Continues to Push the Boundaries of AI-Powered Search, Discovery and Digital Experience
SAN FRANCISCO – May 7 – Algolia, the AI Search and Retrieval platform trusted by more than 18,000 businesses and millions of developers worldwide, today announced it has been awarded a Gold Hermes Creative Award in the Marketing Video category by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP). The win marks Algolia’s fifth consecutive year of recognition and underscores the company’s sustained commitment to innovation across both product and brand.
More than a creative milestone, the award reflects how Algolia brings its core philosophy to life: pairing cutting-edge technology with compelling storytelling to help organizations reimagine search and discovery. From AI-powered retrieval to emerging agentic capabilities, Algolia continues to lead the market by turning complex innovation into intuitive, impactful experiences—on screen and in product.
The Hermes Creative Awards is an international competition recognizing excellence in concept, writing, and design across traditional and emerging media. This year’s competition drew thousands of entries from corporate marketing and communications teams, agencies, production companies, and independent creators worldwide.
John Stewart, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Brand, Algolia, said: “This recognition reflects how we think about innovation across Algolia. Whether we’re building next-generation AI search or telling the story behind it, the goal is the same: make the complex feel simple, powerful, and real. As we continue advancing into agentic search and discovery, bringing those ideas to life in ways people can see and understand is more important than ever.”
This latest honor builds on strong momentum for Algolia’s corporate communications team. Earlier in 2026, the company received an AVA Digital Award for the fourth consecutive year, further reinforcing its leadership at the intersection of technology, creativity, and customer impact.
The Hermes Creative Awards celebrates those who bring ideas to life across digital and traditional platforms. Winners are chosen from over 200 categories, including marketing, branding, public relations, and electronic media.
