This recognition follows Kobie's achievement as the only Leader in The Forrester Wave(TM): Loyalty Services, Q2 2024. Kobie is currently the only provider evaluated in both Wave reports as a Leader. "The Forrester Wave outcome and the designation as a Customer Favorite mirror what we hear from the market about our technology and our team," said Marti Beller, President, Kobie. "Forrester's introduction of the Customer Favorite badge underscores the need for brands to have a true partner that can unify their strategy, data, AI, and technology to deliver meaningful outcomes for customers and the enterprise. The loyalty industry is going through a significant transformation and Kobie's recognition as a leader in both Wave reports, places us uniquely at the forefront of this transformation alongside enterprise brands." The Forrester evaluation, which reviewed current vendor offerings, strategy, and client feedback, cited several differentiators in the Kobie Alchemy(R) Loyalty Cloud platform: * Kobie's strategy is anchored in the belief that customers want 'human-level' personalization.
