The advertising and marketing technology industry has seen significant year-over-year growth. As it continues to evolve, the demand for new, cost-effective services or software solutions that drive customer acquisition, retention, and lifetime value is at the forefront of all business decisions.

As advertisers and marketers leverage the cloud to innovate and transform digitally, they’re increasingly looking for partners with services and solutions purpose-built to meet their needs. Customers migrating or building advertising and marketing workloads want partners they can work with across their marketing technology stack to connect shared data with flexibility for interoperability.

We’re excited to announce the AWS Advertising and Marketing Technology Competency to help AWS customers find partners that will develop the future of advertising and marketing by promoting solutions built on AWS—making data interoperability and innovation more effective.

Previously called the AWS Digital Customer Experience Competency, the expanded AWS Advertising and Marketing Technology Competency includes new categories to further differentiate partners and help customers find the right solution for their business.

By launching this expanded Competency, we aim to help partners deliver seamless, individualized experiences for their customers across every touch-point of their journey—from targeted advertising and personalized interactions to customer retention.

The AWS Competency Program is designed to highlight AWS Partners who have demonstrated technical proficiency and proven customer success.

• Privacy-Enhanced Data Collaboration: For organizations looking to collaborate with other companies more effectively, securely, and safely on the AWS Cloud.
