# Google has a company-level Brand of the Year record in Webby Awards 2026

Google is recorded as Winner in Brand of the Year (Company of the Year) at The Webby Awards 2026. This company-level entry is separate from the directory’s named Gemini product and immersive-project results.

## A company-level Webby entry

The directory records Google in Brand of the Year (Company of the Year), with Winner as the level and no product named in the entry. The source is the Webby Awards' published 2026 winners announcement. [1](#source-1)

That wording makes the recipient scope clear. It is a company-level result, rather than an award automatically assigned to every Google product. Adding a product name to this row would change the claim, so the table retains the absence of one.

## Different from named product and project results

Other Webby records in the directory identify particular products or projects. The existing AI briefing covers Google's recorded technical-achievement entry for Gemini 3, while the immersive-experiences article preserves Samsung as the company attached to Samsung x Google Gemini Museum Tour. Neither is a substitute for this company-level recognition.

Together, the distinctions show why a familiar name in several headlines does not necessarily identify the same recipient, category or unit of recognition. A company profile and the programme's edition page help readers inspect those relationships without merging their award claims.

## What can be concluded

This entry supports a reference to the recorded 2026 company-level recognition. It does not rank all of Google's services or establish present-day superiority in a particular product market. When quoting the result, retain the full category wording, the edition and the organizer's source, rather than converting it into a broader product endorsement.
