Microsoft Advertising: 2019 Partner of the Year Award winners

The week of April 29 was packed with excitement: we evolved our naming from Bing Ads to Microsoft Advertising, hosted the fourth annual partner summit, celebrated what we can achieve through partnership at the first ever Channel Partner Awards on the afternoon of April 30, and then later in the evening, we announced our Partner of the Year Award winners during the 2019 Global Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards and Partner Summit opening party.

The 2019 Microsoft Advertising Channel Partner Awards were held at the Thompson Hotel in downtown Seattle. Partners from around the globe were treated to an unusually sunny Seattle afternoon and fabulous rooftop celebration, and the regional winners competed later in the evening for the Global Channel Partner of the Year award.

On the evening of April 30, at the world famous Chihuly Garden and Glass, Microsoft Advertising honored and celebrated our partners at the opening party. It was a fun and celebratory evening, as we welcomed our agency, channel and technology partners and regional award winners from around the world to one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic locations.

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 four Global Partner of the Year awards selected from these regional winners.

These four winners truly embody partnership and we are 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 evangelize it to their customers.
