Last year, Skai and Microsoft Advertising partnered to come up with strategic ways to help shared clients see the merits of advertising with Microsoft via strategic initiatives including:
- Prioritizing product development that would deliver the most immediate impact for clients while also moving towards strategic future growth areas.
- Introducing high ROI features to improve clients’ performance and adoption of strategies across the marketing funnel such as Microsoft’s Audience Network at the top of the funnel and automated bidding at the bottom of the funnel.
- Providing support and materials to ensure best practices are aligned between Microsoft Advertising sellers and Skai Client Success teams so joint clients yield the highest performance.
“Microsoft Advertising is delighted to show our appreciation and acknowledge the well-deserved recognition for Skai with the Microsoft Advertising Partner Awards.
