Award categories

For 2023, the Premier Partner Awards are introducing a simplified application process based on performance to make it easier to spotlight the outstanding work of our partners.

If your company drives funnel excellence, take a look at Brand Awareness and Lead Generation. If diversification is a strength, your entries could be a great fit for App Growth, Online Sales, or International Growth. And if you’re paving the way as a brilliant place to work, submit an entry for Workplace Excellence. We’re also excited to introduce the Breakthrough Excellence award in the Brand Awareness, Lead Generation, Online Sales, and App Growth categories. This accolade is new in 2023, and it lets us give special recognition to the four entrants who have demonstrated a higher proportional performance increase.
