Tinuiti's decades plus partnership with Microsoft Advertising has transformed over the years to meet the ever-evolving needs of the digital advertising landscape, to earn the reputation as early and extensive adaptors of new products that deliver the best performance results for their established and emerging roster of clients. With 32% year-over-year growth with Microsoft Advertising, Tinuiti showed clear intentions of continuing to grow the partnership into 2022. This year's awards theme was "Together we are Limitless," to reflect the powerful impact that key partnerships have had this past year, amid continued uncertainty and renewed opportunities.

"As the first independent agency to win Agency Partner of the Year, we're extremely honored to be recognized for driving innovation, efficiency and growth for our clients. As an independent firm, we are able to provide a limitless approach to what's possible, to deliver the strongest brand performance and ROI for our clients. We value the Microsoft partnership, one that has been a true collaborative exchange to help solve complex business issues for our clients and who has been there as we grew to become the largest independent performance marketing agency." – Obele Brown-West, Tinuiti's Chief Solutions Officer.

Tinuiti and Microsoft Teams leveraged the firm's proprietary, award-winning technology, Mobius, a suite of AI-enabled marketing intelligence and media activation technology, to unify data sources into an ecosystem where data is interconnected to provide a truly unified marketing strategy. Tinuiti's Media teams utilized Mobius to re-forecast during uncertain times and pivot ad strategy quickly as the pandemic and societal events required brands to shift course frequently.

"Microsoft Advertising is delighted to show our appreciation and acknowledge the well-deserved recognition for Tinuiti with the Agency Partner of the Year. Our partners are critical to our business and it's a privilege to recognize those who lead with a spirit of collaboration, innovation and inclusive behavior.
