Apollo Wins Double Gold at the 2026 Stevie® Awards for Sales & Customer Service

Judges praised Apollo’s “category‑defining” application of AI and verified data foundation

Apollo has been awarded two Gold Stevie Awards at the 20th Annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service:

• AI-Powered Sales or Service Solution: Apollo’s Agentic End‑to‑End GTM Platform
• Product Feature of the Year: Apollo AI Assistant

This marks Apollo’s second consecutive year receiving Gold recognition, reflecting our momentum in building the most intelligent, comprehensive, and accessible GTM platform on the market.

“Our goal has always been to help sales teams of any size move beyond isolated AI features and point solutions by building a truly agentic, all-in-one GTM platform. Receiving two awards — for both the Apollo platform and the AI Assistant — further affirms that unifying data, intelligence, and execution into a single system differentiates Apollo in the market and represents a category-defining step forward for revenue teams.” — Tim Zheng, CEO, Apollo

Why Apollo stood out

Over the past year, we’ve shipped innovative GTM technology that help teams go from hours of manual work to minutes of execution:

• Agentic End-to-End GTM Platform: Only GTM platform on the market that unifies outbound, inbound, deal execution, and data enrichment – replacing 6–7 point tools within one AI-orchestrated system.
• AI Assistant: A native GTM copilot that turns plain-English requests into multi-step workflows and actually does the work. Launched in beta in the fall of 2025, AI Assistant enables teams to build prospect lists, personalize outreach, launch sequences, and iterate on performance — intelligently and efficiently, all in one place.

The customer benefits are clear: faster prospecting and qualification, higher reply and meeting rates, and reduced operational overhead across SMB and mid-market teams.
