Kentico is excited to announce that 24 individuals have received an award for our Kentico Community Programs in 2026.
Let's dig into the details and meet the award recipients!
What are Kentico's Community Programs?
Kentico's two community programs - Community Leaders and MVPs - are represented by smart, engaged, and friendly experts from our Kentico community. These programs serve to recognize and award the interest, expertise, and engagement of community members who actively share their insights with us and our community.
Members of our community programs:
Communicate the why and the how of Xperience by Kentico to our customers and partner agencies.
Give us thoughtful, timely feedback about our product and go-to-market strategy.
Help build our brand and guarantee Kentico's solutions to digital marketing challenges are top of mind for all.
Support and grow the Kentico community and actively showcase that Xperience by Kentico is an active, forward-thinking, problem solving DXP.
They are rewarded with direct access to Kentico's teams, sneak peeks at upcoming product enhancements, influence on our product roadmap, plenty of Kentico branded swag, speaking opportunities at our global events, and strategic promotion of their insights to our audiences.
This opportunity benefits their digital agency or consultancy and their professional career growth.
Kentico Community Leaders
With the announcement in 2025 of the newly launched Kentico Community Leader program, we expected community interest and growth in the program. We are happy to share that our expectations were exceeded...
The program has grown from just 3, trailblazing members in 2025 to 11 in 2026!
It is now represented by our partner agencies and independent consultants, covering all of our primary commercial regions, and a wide spectrum of employment and career backgrounds.
What are Kentico Community Leaders?
The Kentico Community Leaders program is centered around the following key ideas. They are:
Enthusiasm as Kentico community members.
Going above and beyond in community participation.
Promoting effective Xperience by Kentico implementations and valuable use cases.
Nurturing and growing the Kentico community, leading to a welcoming and educational space for all Kentico users.
Helping communicate the how of Xperience by Kentico.
Kentico Community Leaders are daily practitioners with Xperience by Kentico. They understand on-the-ground successes and challenges partners and customers experience with the platform, and share that real-world insight with the Kentico community.
Join us in congratulating the Kentico's Community Leaders for 2026!
Kentico MVPs
The Kentico MVP program began in 2010 and has been an important part of our community ever since. As we announced last year, this program has evolved to focus on the strategic value of its members for our product and commercial teams - often providing us with key, digital agency leadership insights globally.
MVPs deeply understand Xperience by Kentico's multichannel AI capabilities with AIRA, modern technology foundations, flexibility, and the ROI it delivers to customers. So, while they might not be building Xperience solutions day-to-day, they are experts in communicating why Kentico is a fantastic choice for digital marketing teams looking to invest in a DXP.
What are Kentico MVPs?
The Kentico MVPs program is centered around several key ideas. They are:
An individual's strategic professional value to Kentico.
Digital marketing industry expertise.
Sharing thought leadership and insights about Kentico’s value for marketers and partner agencies.
Providing direct commercial, product, and customer experience strategy feedback for Kentico.
Helping communicate the why of Xperience by Kentico.
MVPs give Kentico go-to-market insight and help us execute on our commercial strategy. They understand the business opportunities and challenges of running a digital marketing agency and the key role Kentico plays as a technology partner.
MVPs get customers and other digital agencies excited about the prospect of working with Kentico, translating the value of our solution to their business.
Join us in congratulating the Kentico's MVPs for 2026!
What's next?
Our Kentico Community Leaders and MVPs will be busy collaborating with us and sharing their thoughts and experiences working with Kentico throughout 2026. You'll see them active in the Kentico Community Portal Q&A discussions, at our in-person and virtual events, and posting about AI transformation, digital marketing, and Xperience by Kentico on LinkedIn.
We encourage you to join in on the conversation as a member of the Kentico community!
Do you see yourself as a future Kentico Community Leader or MVP? If so, get in touch with us and maybe your face will appear in the list of professionals above for 2027!
