Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, recently spoke with Aneesh Reddy, Co-Founder, and CEO of Capillary Technologies, about their recent acquisition of Persuade, a full-stack customer experience company with strong expertise in customer loyalty, digital experiences, and analytical solutions.
Reddy says this marks the Singapore-headquartered company’s first U.S. acquisition and fourth globally.
“Persuade’s founders, John Tschida and Bill Jansen bring a deep understanding of customer loyalty with many decades of combined experience in the loyalty management space,” Reddy says. “They have crystallized their knowledge by building four highly successful loyalty companies, including Persuade. Their team of seasoned professionals has built a world-class portfolio of prestigious customers. Together, Persuade and Capillary strive for excellence in the global loyalty space.”
Capillary’s enterprise-ready AI-powered SaaS platform drives consistent business growth and establishes enduring brand relationships with 500M+ customers across multiple industries, including apparel & fashion, luxury & lifestyle, food & beverage, supermarkets, hospitality, retail, and consumer goods and durables.
Capillary’s acquisition of Persuade, a brand with over 30 years of expertise, further extends Capillary’s presence in North America and strengthens its position as the global customer loyalty and engagement leader. Persuade’s expertise in digital capabilities and its advanced loyalty platform will complement Capillary’s capabilities to raise the bar of customer loyalty programs and deliver solutions for new verticals like airlines, automotive, and healthcare, benefiting customers across the globe.
Persuade is a highly profitable company serving several Fortune 500 brands and having grown 300% in CY2020 and already surpassing its CY2020 revenues during the first six months of CY2021.
