Horizontal Digital named Sitecore Diamond Partner

Minneapolis, MN– August 12, 2026 – Horizontal Digital, a leading intelligent experience consulting firm, has been recognized as an inaugural Diamond Partner, Sitecore's highest tier of partnership.

Out of Sitecore's global partner ecosystem, only four organizations have earned Diamond status. The Diamond tier recognizes organizations that have shown exceptional results with Sitecore, driven meaningful customer impact, and invested in building the capabilities needed to help customers succeed as AI reshapes digital experiences.

"This recognition didn't happen because of one project, one team, or one leader," said Sabin Ephrem, Co-Founder and CEO of Horizontal Digital. "It happened because hundreds of people across Horizontal consistently show up, solve hard problems, build trusted relationships, and deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients."

For more than 20 years as one of Sitecore’s original partners, Horizontal Digital has helped organizations continuously evolve their digital experience ecosystems.

"Our partnership with Sitecore has spanned more than two decades, and together we've helped organizations around the world transform how they engage with their customers," Ephrem said. "We've evolved alongside the platform through every major technology shift, and today we're helping shape what's next with SitecoreAI, composable architectures, and AI-powered digital experiences."

In 2026, Horizontal also announced 25 team members were awarded with Sitecore MVP status – the most of any Sitecore partners. Horizontal’s strong MVP representation reflects a deliberate, long-term investment in a culture that encourages experts to deepen their platform mastery — values that directly translate into stronger client results and more durable digital solutions.

"For more than two decades, Horizontal Digital has been an important part of the Sitecore story, helping customers navigate every major evolution in digital experience,” Dave Tilbury, Chief Operating Officer of Sitecore said. “Their ability to combine strategic consulting, technical excellence, and a forward-looking approach to innovation has consistently helped organizations modernize with confidence. As the market shifts toward composable architectures, AI-powered experiences, and SitecoreAI, Horizontal Digital continues to lead from the front, helping customers turn new possibilities into meaningful business outcomes."
