NEW YORK, October 14, 2026. Cirface has been named Asana Partner of the Year for the Americas for the second consecutive year. The award was presented at the 2026 Asana Partner Excellence Awards on October 13 at Asana’s Work Innovation Summit in New York City, where Cirface was also a sponsor. Cirface first won the award at the same summit in 2025.
This year, Asana launched Agentic Work Management, which brings people and AI agents onto the same plans with shared context and governance. Cirface spent the year helping customers put Asana’s AI into practice, from AI Studio workflows built with customer teams to live AI Teammates builds in its monthly webinars.
“Being named Partner of the Year a second time reflects the standing the Cirface team has built with Asana and the trust customers place in us when they open up how their work really gets done,” said Marquis Murray, CEO and Founder of Cirface. “That trust matters more now than it ever has, because the question on our customers’ minds has shifted from what AI could do to how to let it into their business without losing control. Teams have seen that AI dropped into a messy process only speeds up the chaos, so what they want is AI that lives inside the systems they already run on, with clear rules about what it can and can’t touch.”
“Our team spent this year building exactly that with Asana AI Studio and AI Teammates,” Murray added. “This recognition belongs to them, and to the customers who trusted us to build it with them.”

At the summit, Murray also hosted “RBC’s AI blueprint for enterprise marketing ops,” a customer session with Liz Hopkins of RBC. They walked through how the bank uses AI-powered intake validation, automated routing and intelligent escalation in Asana to take repetitive work off its enterprise marketing operations team, all within a federally regulated environment. Cirface designed and built the AI Studio workflow behind it with RBC’s marketing team.
Highlights of Cirface’s year include:
• Planning and running Asana on Tour Montreal in January, a bilingual event for about 200 attendees
• Sponsoring Asana on Tour San Francisco in May and presenting a customer AI Studio implementation on stage
• Serving as main sponsor of Asana’s Work Innovation Tour in Toronto in September and hosting a customer fireside chat on its stage
• Hosting Asanathon 2026, its fourth annual digital summit, in October, with a session from Asana’s AI product team and a hands-on build workshop
• Running monthly Asana Office Hours webinars, with an AI Studio series and industry sessions co-hosted with Asana
“We see this award as a shared one, because it reflects the customers who trusted us with their most important projects this year and the Asana account teams who brought us into those conversations,” said Maggie Falardeau, Head of Sales at Cirface. “For the teams we’ll meet next, a second year as Partner of the Year is a clear signal that our work holds up, and we intend to keep earning that with every engagement.”
