s360 has been shortlisted four times at this year's European Paid Media Awards, together with RevolutionRace and Nokian Tyres, including a nomination for Best Use of AI in Paid Media.

The four nominations at the European Paid Media Awards 2026 span three categories: Best Use of AI in Paid Media, Best Use of Data, and Paid Search Campaign of the Year - with RevolutionRace appearing in all three, and Nokian Tyres nominated for Best Use of Data.

Both cases follow the same logic: better data, not bigger budgets. RevolutionRace got there by using AI to rewrite its product feed. Nokian Tyres got there by automating creative delivery of live weather data.

RevolutionRace: 21% increase in clicks from an AI-rewritten feed

Shortlisted in: Best Use of AI in Paid Media, Best Use of Data, and Paid Search Campaign of the Year

Together with RevolutionRace, we rewrote product feed titles to match how people actually search for outdoor gear. With our proprietary AI feed optimisation tool, Quantum by s360, we replaced attribute stacking with benefit-led descriptions.

Across four markets, the change drove a 21% increase in clicks and a 33% increase in conversions, with no additional ad spend. Germany alone saw a 57% conversion uplift during the test period.

Nokian Tyres: weather-triggered creatives across 12 US cities

Shortlisted in: Best Use of Data

With Nokian Tyres, we connected a live weather API to Smartly to automate creative delivery across 12 US cities. Ads went live only when local conditions matched the product, which cut the cost per landing page view by 54.9% and increased dealer-locator searches by 34.8%.

A word from our team

“This is proof of what happens when we combine strong client relationships with the right mix of data, technology, and creativity. I'm incredibly proud of the teams who made this possible — and of the clients who trusted us to go new places together."” says Jacob Johansen, Managing Director, s360 Norway.

Thank you to our clients and team, and congratulations to all the other winners of the Performance Awards 2026.

The practical takeaway is that before raising budgets, you should check the data feeding your campaigns. In both cases, the key to boosting performance was to work with the backbone of the system instead of increasing spend.
