Kinesso Australia lands APAC Agency of the Year at Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards
Kinesso Australia has emerged with the top gong at the 2023 APAC Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards, securing both the Marketing with Purpose Award and the APAC Agency of the Year title.
Jess White, CEO of Kinesso Australia, said: "Winning metal at awards is always an honour, but taking out two top spots across the APAC region at the prestigious Microsoft Partner Awards is very special. To win the Marketing with Purpose award two years in a row exemplifies our commitment to making our work more than a job and aligning our passion with purpose. The competition is always tough; the calibre of entries is always outstanding, so recognition in two such coveted categories is wonderful," she said.
The wins have automatically entered Kinesso Australia into the Microsoft Advertising Global Partner Awards, where it will compete against winners from America and Europe.
Two key figures at Kinesso Australia, Andrew Holford, Chief Product Officer, and Kellyn Coetzee, Head of Media & AI, were singled out for their instrumental roles in securing the awards.
Adam Goodman, Microsoft National Agency Lead, said: "Congratulations to Kinesso for an incredible year. This is a huge agency team effort but I'd also highlight two influential leaders who have been instrumental to winning these awards. Credit to Andrew Holford for his continued partnership and leadership in this space, and to Kellyn Coetzee for her vision, passion and evangelising Microsoft advertising across the business and to the team’s contribution to the win."
Katherine Eills, Global Partner and Awards Lead at Microsoft Advertising, also commended Kinesso Australia's achievements, noting the high calibre of this year's nominations. "Microsoft Advertising is delighted to show our appreciation and acknowledge Kinesso Australia's deserved wins. We had an exceptional pool of high calibre nominations this year, making our winners' achievements all the more significant, demonstrating their impactful and transformative work," she said.
