2025 Partner Awards: EMEA and LATAM finalists announced

Celebrating a Decade of Excellence: 2025 Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards

2025 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards; a decade defined by bold ideas, transformative partnerships, and shared success.

Each year, our partners raise the bar, delivering innovative solutions, driving measurable impact, and shaping the future of advertising. This milestone year honors not only our finalists, but the collective ingenuity and collaboration that have powered our journey over the past 10 years.

This year we’re proud to introduce our first-ever Partner Awards Showcase events, coming to London, New York, Sydney, and Tokyo. These vibrant celebrations will spotlight the work of our winners in an experience you can see, feel, and talk about; together.

We’re putting the work, and the people behind it, center stage.

This year’s nominations were nothing short of exceptional. In a highly competitive field, each finalist has demonstrated the exceptional work being done across the board. Our partners have gone above and beyond, not only achieving impressive results for themselves but driving success for their clients.

Let’s celebrate in style

On 9 December 2025, we’ll gather at The Rooftop in the Century Club in the heart of London, for an unforgettable partner experience to celebrate visionary ideas, meaningful results, and the people who make it all possible.
