Each year, we look forward to hosting our search advertising partners and clients from around the world at Microsoft Advertising’s most prestigious customer event at Microsoft Headquarters. This year, Microsoft Advertising Elevate was delivered as a virtual experience on 31 March 2020 for our Elite and top Select partners globally. During the live broadcast, we announced our Global Partner Award winners for 2020. While we’re disappointed that we couldn’t recognise their successes in person, we value and appreciate the incredible partnership each global winner demonstrates each day.
The Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards aim to recognise and reward outstanding, creative, and passionate work by search advertising individuals, teams, agencies, channel and technology partners working with Microsoft Advertising. In addition to celebrating the regional winners who were announced earlier in the year at the
Americas Agency Awards and the
Europe and
Asia Pacific Partner Awards, we announced five
Global Partner of the Year awards selected from these regional winners.
These five winners truly embody partnership and we’re proud of all they have achieved. They share our obsessive focus on the customer, and they strategically align engineering, sales, business and marketing to enable their clients. They not only see growth through Microsoft Advertising, but also invest in our technology and evangelise it to their customers.
