Over the past two weeks, our Global Growth Sales org at Amazon Ads was out in force at two of our industry's biggest conferences, Amazon Accelerate in Seattle and unBoxed in San Francisco, meeting with over 570 unique advertisers and agencies across the two events. This year, we put more clients on the Accelerate and unBoxed stages, backed by a larger team earning conference access. Its a milestone I don't take for granted as I approach my 7-year Ama-versary in January.
My highlight: two of our accounts, Rosy Soil and Wind River Chimes, featured on the Customer Spotlight stages at unBoxed for outstanding advertising performance and growth, with Megan Oredson presenting onstage alongside Rosy Soil. Rosy Soil's agency partners, YourSeller and Kapoq, were named regional winners of the Challenger Partner Award at the event. Kudos to the Account Executives supporting these accounts, Alvonte Thompson and Leslie Ynoa.
I'm especially proud of the display of ownership from our Sales Events team, pulling off an enormous lift behind the scenes so GGS could stay focused: Tanvi Nandwani James Bondi Maliyat Nahar Amy Ni Fletcher Scott Sohn, MBA. Meghan Soligon; and our out-of-this-world marketing and event partners: Lucia Ying Lendon Ebbins Sandy Khuu Marco Mendolia Frances Quattrocki Janna Ritzcovan Synovec Taylor J. Kaplan Carly Snider. Proud to deliver for our customers under Tim Acker's leadership.
Now, on to Q4 and our Black Friday / Cyber Monday summits; bring it on!
