In this blog, we’ll cover what winning this award means for our organization, how we achieved it, and much more!
How did phData win dbt Labs' Partner of the Year?
Winning dbt Labs Partner of the Year is a notable achievement, winning two years in a row is off-the-charts extraordinary. This prestigious award was earned by every one of our delivery and partner teams as they worked hard to drive the success of our customers.
We all work together to ensure every customer receives the best implementation, support, and development of their Modern Data Stack. This allows us to work towards our goal of doing our absolute best to ensure our joint customers achieve success with dbt.
Naturally, doing our best possible work at every engagement has drawn some attention from the dbt community, but there were several other factors that we believed helped phData win dbt Labs Partner of the Year.
Let’s get into those.
dbt Resources
One element that has been instrumental in securing this award is phData’s substantial contributions to the dbt community. Over the last three years, phData has created leading content that enables others to use dbt effectively and efficiently.

Thought Leadership & Community Involvement
Our team members don’t just write content; they get involved in the community and help others. This takes many forms, including helping answer questions on the dbt Community Slack, presenting at dbt Coalesce, responding to dbt technical questions on Reddit, and much more!
We’re also pretty candid and open to sharing our failures and lessons learned to help foster a community of growth.
Throughout our time building and nurturing a community of dbt learners, two of our team members were awarded dbt Community Spotlight positions. This was a huge honor for our team, especially since a few spots are available worldwide.Â
Coincidently, their names are Dakota and Bruno (db); now we just need Troy (another one of our dbt experts), and we’ll have the full dbt team.
