Vendasta Leads the 2026 Siinda Awards with Three Category Wins
SASKATOON, SK — July 6, 2026 — Vendasta, the AI workforce platform for small and medium businesses, won three awards at the 2026 SIINDA Digital Marketing and Innovation Awards in Berlin, held in partnership with Yext. An independent panel judged 23 entries across six categories. Vendasta was the only company to place in three categories: Gold in Location Platforms and Lead Generation for Vendasta Search AI; Silver in Innovation Through Leveraging AI for its AI Workforce; and Silver in Sales Automation, Attribution, and Analytics for Vendasta CRM AI and the AI Sales Assistant. Vendasta outperformed entrants including Wix, Duda, and Insites.
“Most software is built to be great at one slice of the problem. We built a platform to carry the whole thing,” said Sanjay Manchanda, Vendasta’s CMO. “A customer goes from a search to a sale in one motion, so the software should too. For a small business that can’t hire a marketing team, a sales team, and a front desk, that’s the whole vision: an AI workforce that does the work, not one more tool to manage.”
“We judge entries from across the digital media and local marketing industry, and the standard rises every year,” said Kimberli Lewis, General Manager, Siinda. “Placing in three categories is rare. Vendasta did it because our judges kept seeing the same thing across search, AI, and sales: technology that actually does the work for small businesses, instead of handing them one more tool to run. That’s where this industry is heading.”
