The crisp autumn air has arrived, which can only mean one thing — it’s time for Invoca’s annual Impact Awards! It’s our favorite time of year because we get to show our appreciation for our customers’ most incredible achievements. We had a record number of nominations this year and some of the most innovative use cases we’ve ever seen, so we had a lot of tough choices to make to narrow it down to these eight winners across five customer categories and three partner categories. Our customers' work is so incredible that we also decided to name a runner-up for each category this year. Let’s get this award show on the road!
The Rookie of the Year award goes to a customer who has been using Invoca for less than a year and has quickly understood its value. They’ve shown great dedication in quickly getting started, fully embraced revenue execution, and made a meaningful impact within just a few months of going live.
Boost Mobile earned the runner-up spot for the Rookie of the Year due to its great strides in increasing phone sales via bidding optimizations. Congratulations to Cedric Chambers and the entire Boost Mobile team!
CenterWell won Rookie of the Year because it wowed us with its all-around approach, combining technical proficiency and strategic insight. It positions Invoca at the core of its data-driven decision-making. Huge congrats to Michelle Murphy and the CenterWell team.
And a hat tip to the amazing finalists at Daikin and Extended Stay America. Check out this video to learn more about why we chose CenterWell and Boost Mobile.
The AI Visionary of the Year award goes to a customer who makes the most of their investment through strong vision and execution, using Invoca’s AI technology in new and innovative ways to meet business goals and transform their business operations. This customer often participates in beta programs, leading product direction and execution, and uses Invoca in unique ways to push our platform to new levels that positively impact the broader Invoca community.
The AI Visionary of the Year runner-up is U.S. Bank, which impressed us with their approach to increasing quality calls. Congrats to Melissa Reilly, Bruce Gibbs, Keith Calleja, and the whole team!
The winner trophy goes to AutoNation, which continues to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible by deeply integrating Invoca into its daily operations to drive insights across a wide array of business-critical outcomes. Let’s put our hands together for Matteo Togni, Maia Menendez-Carruego, Melissa Cartagena, Bryan Baker, and the whole team!
