Kinesso Australia has been crowned Microsoft Advertising's Global Agency of the Year for 2023, a significant achievement that it says underscores the agency's commitment to its clients and exemplary use of Microsoft technologies. This is one of three prestigious awards the tech-driven media agency has won this year, including APAC Agency of the Year and APAC Marketing with Purpose Award. The awards were announced at a gala event in Mexico before Easter.

Kinesso Australia is a leading media agency that specialises in search, social, addressable, and commerce. The Microsoft Advertising awards are based on an agency's commitment to customers, the impact of the agency's solutions, and their exemplary use of Microsoft technologies.

Jess White, CEO of Kinesso Australia, attributed the agency's success to her dedicated team and brave client partners. "I owe all the success of winning all three awards, including Global Agency of the Year, entirely to my dedicated and talented team and brave client partners. Winning awards is always an honour, but winning on the global stage is very special and is testament that Australia continues to punch above its weight despite being a smaller market than many," White said.

She also acknowledged the high standard of competition from The America's, Europe and APAC. "The standard of competition from The America's, Europe and APAC is very high and the calibre of entries always outstanding, so global recognition at such a prestigious event is exceptional," White added.

Katherine Ellis, Global Partner Marketing Director and Awards Lead at Microsoft Advertising, expressed her delight at presenting Kinesso Australia with the Global Agency of the Year Award. "Microsoft Advertising is honoured to present Kinesso Australia with the Global Agency of the Year Award. We were thrilled by the quality of nominations from partners; inspiring us with their commitment to partnership, dedication to their clients and are proud to celebrate our global winners for their extraordinary work," Ellis said.

White said, "In addition to my team and our client partners I would also like to thank Microsoft who continue to provide world-class technologies that enable Kinesso to provide business growth solutions for clients," she concluded.
