Welcome
Chris Wright

You are reading the leading independent report

into the marketing prowess of Microsoft Partners.

Welcome to the fifth
annual edition of the
Digital Marketing Excellence
Top 50 report.
Our report exists to draw attention to the hard
work that partners are doing, from those that
achieve an elusive top 10 position to those ranking
a little higher each consecutive year. Every year
we survey tens of thousands of partners from
across the globe, and this year we have further
improved the quality of our data and the scoring
process itself.

Every year, we see significant improvements in
digital marketing performance right across the
Microsoft Partner Network – across website,
blog and social media efforts. This applies both
to the top 50 themselves and the wider partner
network. As the B2B technology market becomes
increasingly competitive, it’s a testament to
the strength of skill and expertise of partners
worldwide that these scores improve each year.
I hope this report provides you with a wealth of
insights into the world of digital marketing in
the Microsoft Partner Network. Not only does it
highlight the industry’s thought leaders, it also
draws attention to the important trends and
strategies that are allowing them to succeed.
We hope you find this report an illuminating read.

This year’s annual Top 50 is better than ever;

we’ve improved the quality of our data and the
scoring process we use to present it. We have
moved to a single platform for testing all digital
channels, increased the data points we look at
and are making the platform fully available to
partners themselves after the report launches.

 Inbound Marketing 2.0
Standing out in the Microsoft Partner Network today
Inbound = digital marketing
Once upon a time, inbound marketing was new.
Microsoft partners who embraced it found a way
to reach new audiences – by providing insightful
content and value to potential customers. Five
years ago, we launched our first Top 50 Inbound
Marketing Excellence Report to showcase which
Microsoft partners were using this new approach
to marketing and flourishing.
Since then, the market has caught up. Most
partners now embrace inbound marketing,
from blogging and social media to SEO.
Inbound has become such a fundamental part
of digital marketing that the two are almost
indistinguishable. So much so that when most
people think ‘digital marketing’, they think of blog
posts, social media and other key components
of inbound marketing. In this way, the scope of
inbound has grown beyond the boundaries of our
classic definition of ‘inbound marketing’.
Today, inbound is digital marketing.
In light of this, we decided that a name change
was in order – this year’s report has been
renamed the Digital Marketing Excellence Report.
06 TOP 50 MICROSOFT PARTNERS
How to differentiate
One of the companies that excelled at inbound
marketing early on were ShareGate. They
mastered the art of content before everyone
else, which is why they topped our report for the
first two years. This year, they’re back on top
because they continue to push the envelope.
As more partners engage in inbound marketing,
it becomes harder to stand out. It is no longer
good enough to publish a few blogs and share
them on social media. In contribution to this
report, Gavriella Schuster highlighted how
important it is for partners to truly understand
what is unique about their products and/
or services and be able to communicate that
effectively – this differentiation is essential to
success in the market today.
The Top 50 identifies partners who do that better
than anyone. Let’s have a look at what they’re
doing to make their marketing stand out.
Content
Now that more Partners are writing blogs,
eBooks and whitepapers, you need to be more
creative with your content. A generic blog
titled ‘10 tips for SharePoint Online’ won’t cut it
anymore. However well-written and engaging
your content is, blogs like this will simply get lost
in the crowd. As Stephen Reilly, Head of Content
at Fifty Five and Five, says:
“The best partners know their customers inside
out and can tailor content to meet their target
audience’s needs. This might mean creating
content that is focused on a vertical, a job role
or a highly specific problem a customer faces.
Another key differentiator is content type.
Content marketing used to be about blog posts.
Now, you need to be creating video, audio and
interactive content, alongside the written word.”
How to stand out
• Tailor content to your audience
• Try different types of content
SEO
The best partners turn SEO into a habit.
As Fifty Five and Five’s resident SEO expert,
Enrika Ramonaite, notes:
“Many partners are implementing SEO but
think of it as a one-off project. We see a lot of
partners optimising a web page when it is first
created and then that’s that – or they designate
someone to look after SEO but quickly drop the
initiative when they fail to see instant results.
However, the best partners keep their websites
up-to-date with fresh content and well-
researched keywords. Making SEO an ongoing
operation, transforming it into a habit, is key.”
How to stand out
• Make SEO a habit
TOP 50 MICROSOFT PARTNERS 07
 Social media Paid media

With social media, the key to better results is
planning. The best partners are taking the time
to form a robust social strategy, such as tying
social posts into a wider campaign and engaging
influencers. As Chris Wright, Founder of Fifty
Five and Five, says:
“What is important is the coordination and the
effort to do something that adds value. Run
a campaign where influencers are involved.
Encourage key figures from the industry to
engage with your content.
Social is less about pushing out 10 blogs a day
on Twitter. It is about real engagement and
sharing knowledge. It is about conversations and
interactions with real people in the industry and
with customers.”
When it comes to paid media, it pays to be smart.
As Aidan Danaher, Account Director at Fifty Five
and Five, points out:
“Many Microsoft partners have a budget for paid
media. But they try it for a month, get no results
and conclude that it’s a waste of money.
You need to be smart with your money. You
cannot simply throw money at Google Ads and
hope for the best. To get results, personalisation
is essential. In this regard, we have seen the
top Microsoft partners trying their hand at
remarketing and account-based marketing lists.
This ensures their ads are communicating the
right message to the right people.”

How to stand out How to stand out

• Make a social media plan • Remarketing

• Tie social posts into wider campaigns • Account-based marketing
• Engage directly with customers and
influencers

Microsoft partners are improving their digital marketing

efforts year on year - to be among the best, you need to take
it to the next level. If you’re not in this edition of the Top 50,
hopefully we’ll see you in next year’s.

 Interview: Gavriella Schuster
Corporate Vice President, One Commercial Partner at Microsoft
In order to help partners
stay competitive in an
increasingly aggressive
market, we provide tools,
competencies, and resources
What do you think is the single biggest
challenge facing Microsoft Partners in the
next 12 months?
Change is both the biggest challenge
and the most exciting opportunity facing
partners in the next 12 months.
Change is constant in terms of new
products and technologies – such as AI
and some of the exciting work Microsoft is
doing in that space with Azure. But change
also needs to be embraced in how partners
communicate their offering to customers.
And that is where change can be very
exciting. Being able to offer cutting edge
services to customers means partners
can really move the dial for them, make
a fundamental impact on their mission
or bottom line. That is exciting for all
concerned.
20 TOP 50 MICROSOFT PARTNERS
You’ve spoken before about the ever
increasing challenge of competition.
I have, yes. I would say that the technology
market as a whole has become more
competitive and our partners are not
immune to these changes. We encourage
our partners to add value on top of existing
products and services, create their own IP,
or find other ways to differentiate and stay
competitive.
What is Microsoft doing to help partners
face this challenge?
One real area of focus for me is how
Microsoft can help partners continually
ready their employees on the latest
technologies and capabilities. It is only
when employees truly understand the core
of what they are offering that they can offer
their customers value.
And as we have seen when partners put the
customer at the center they can position
themselves as trusted advisors. Which is a
very powerful place to be.
Absolutely. And that trusted advisor role
dovetails with the role of modern digital
marketing.
It really does. It starts with a partner that
really understands the value they are
offering their customers. But modern digital
marketing – content creation, SEO, thinking
about organic lead generation – is a means
of amplifying to your audience that you are
qualified to play that role of trusted advisor.
And then proving it time and time again.
And the tools and resources Microsoft
provide partners play a big role in helping
them get this message out there.
Absolutely. In order to help partners stay
competitive in an increasingly aggressive
market, we provide tools, competencies, and
resources to help partners in all manner of
ways.
There are so many free and simple tools at
partners’ disposal that there’s no excuse to
not be using them. Effective and strategic
marketing can make a huge difference in
your company’s bottom line, and inbound
marketing tools like the ones offered
by Microsoft and Fifty Five and Five are
there to help you get right to your target
audience. The Partner Benchmarking Tool is
a great example of this.
Working with the team at Fifty Five and Five
has allowed us to build a fantastic tool that
again helps partners be competitive, this
time very focused on their marketing efforts.
The Partner Benchmarking Tool has been
an incredible project for us, and it has
been great to partner with Microsoft to
bring it to market.
Likewise. The tool will help partners gain a
better understanding of the efficacy of their
digital marketing channels. It is really simple
to use, and all of the feedback we have had
from users so far tells us it offers something
new that partners have not had before.
I’ve talked a lot before about data giving
partners an edge.
The Partner Benchmarking Tool provides
datapoints on the health of their channels,
their website performance and more.
It allows them to test the ROI of social
campaigns, measure engagement, even
improve SEO ranking.
Data like this is invaluable, and I would
highly encourage partners to use this free
tool to strengthen and hone their marketing
campaigns.
TOP 50 MICROSOFT PARTNERS 21
 Bringing a lot of that data together in our Finally, what are your key objectives for
annual Top 50 report is another use of the Microsoft Partner Network in the next
that data. 12 months?

It is yes. The report is a great resource
for partners. For those in it, they can
benchmark their efforts against the best in
the Microsoft Partner Network. For those
still trying to break into the upper rankings,
it is a great way to see how the best are
succeeding.
I touched on IP earlier. We still believe that
developing IP is extremely important for
successful modern Microsoft partners.
IP in its many forms, and we have seen
some really varied exciting propositions
from our partners, is an incredible way to
differentiate. Getting this message out is
very much an objective for the next year.

And thank you once again for contributing
the foreword.
It is my pleasure. As I touched on earlier, the
tools and resources we provide partners are
very important. And efforts like this, from
third parties like Fifty Five and Five, have a
big role to play.
But ultimately it is our job to understand
what our partners are trying to do for
the customer, how our technology can
be leveraged to make it happen, then
collaborate with them to build solutions
and services, develop a strong go-to-
market strategy together, and co-sell those
solutions to customers.

Effective and strategic marketing can make a huge difference

in your company’s bottom line, and inbound marketing tools
like the ones offered by Microsoft and Fifty Five and Five are
there to help you get right to your target audience.
