In August, brand finalists for each category were chosen by a board of judges comprised of Loyalty360 members, representing some of the top minds in customer loyalty. During the conference, each of the selected finalists delivered a short presentation on their brand’s award entry, after which conference attendees voted for what they felt represented platinum, gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention (if applicable) winners in each category.
“The Loyalty Expo and the Loyalty360 Awards are crucial pieces of our mission at Loyalty360,” said Mark Johnson, CEO, Loyalty360. “We hear from attendees time and time again that the case studies presented by these finalists are among the best stories of the event, and this year we were thrilled with the quality of this year’s final presentations. The 2022 Loyalty360 Award finalists have proven their dedication to loyalty through one or more of the most important facets we put forth as this year’s categories. From their internal commitment to the qualitative and quantitative metrics supporting their efforts, these award winners are in the vanguard of customer loyalty and experience.”
Carly Stemmer Ivory, Vice President of Marketing at Loyalty360, added, “With 41 unique brands selected as finalists over ten categories, the 2022 Awards were one of the most competitive set of awards yet. This year’s finalists come from a variety of industries and have shared a wide range of loyalty and customer experience strategies, programs, and initiatives in their submissions and presentations. The interest and variety in this year’s awards speak volumes about the growing interest in customer loyalty and suggest that there is a not a one-size-fits-all approach or solution that can define a brand’s success. Brands’ unique insights and stories are what makes their participation in the Loyalty360 Awards great, and we look forward to their journeys and continued success.”
