Sailthru Ranked Number 488 Fastest Growing Company in North America on Deloitte's 2017 Technology Fast 500™

NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sailthru today announced it ranked 488 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. Sailthru grew 144.51 percent during this period.

Sailthru's chief executive officer, Neil Lustig, credits Sailthru's continued focus on omnichannel personalization and recent mobile integration advancements as the foundation for continued growth and the organization's third, consecutive appearance on the prestigious index. Sailthru customers include innovative retailers and publishers, such as JustFab, Rent the Runway, Business Insider, and Hearst.

"Personalization continues to increase in priority for retailers, publishers, and brands in all industries. For almost ten years, Sailthru has been a leader in providing both market-leading technology and services to enable organizations to connect with consumers as individuals, rather than in broad audience segments," said Lustig. "We are truly in a unique position in the market: far more innovative than legacy technologies that do not allow for brands to deliver a seamless, cross-channel experience; and operating at a scale and breadth far greater than early stage start ups or mature point solutions."  

"Personalization is a part of the DNA at JustFab and across the entire TechStyle Fashion Group, and Sailthru has really been the first company that has been a true partner to us. Sailthru has given us the ability to achieve our goals with personalized marketing and to more effectively retain customers and increase customer lifetime value."

In addition to revenue growth, Sailthru announced its first Retail Personalization Index in September, the industry's most comprehensive guide to modern personalization and customer experience management, covering 100 innovative retail leaders. Sailthru was also named to the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant as a Niche Player in the Multichannel Campaign Management report earlier this year.¹

Overall, 2017 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 135 percent to 59,093 percent from 2013 to 2016, with median growth of 380 percent.
