SheerID’s Innovative Verification Solutions Drive Award-Winning Campaigns and Secure Third Consecutive Inc. 5000 Spot

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SheerID today announced that for a third year in a row it is on the Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This has been a big summer for awards and recognition for the company – also winning a Convrt® Award for its program with SONIC, and an IMRG European ecommerce award for a program with German airline Lufthansa.

SheerID won silver in the Convrt Awards for its Limeades for Learning program with SONIC, the nation’s largest drive-in restaurant chain, with more than 3,500 restaurants. The program, tied to Teachers Appreciation Day, inspired significant word-of-mouth sharing and drove a 900% increase in daily signups for SONIC’s Rewards Program.

IMRG also named SheerID as Silver winner for their European ecommerce award for “Best Cross-Border Roll Out.” The award acknowledges companies that have effectively navigated the complexities of cross-border expansion, overcoming cultural, logistical, regulatory, and competitive challenges to establish a strong presence and achieve remarkable business results. SheerID’s award highlights the company’s verified student offer campaign with German airline Lufthansa which drove a 2X increase in conversions.

“It’s incredibly fulfilling to be recognized alongside powerhouse brands like SONIC and Lufthansa,” said Anjanette Hill Mendoza, Chief Customer Officer at SheerID. “As the trusted verification partner for industry leaders, we often operate behind the scenes, driving our clients’ success. These accolades spotlight the immense value that verified offers bring to the table—not only as a game-changing marketing strategy that boosts customer engagement but also as a key safeguard for brand integrity.”

Personalized marketing with exclusive offers to communities like Gen Z students, teachers, healthcare workers, first responders and military requires a secure way to verify the consumer’s identity. Rather than forcing customers to a third-party website for verification, SheerID operates behind the scenes on behalf of the brand – providing instant verification with an in-brand experience on the brand’s website or in the store, while allowing the brand to keep and leverage the first-party data the customer has shared with them.

As personalized marketing becomes increasingly crucial, brands are turning to secure verification platforms like SheerID to connect with consumer communities. In the recent Wall Street Journal article, A Crackdown Is Coming for People Hanging On to Student Discounts, author Mengqi Sun emphasized the importance of using digital verification to support student discount offers, noting: “Over the past year, SheerID helped companies avoid $2 billion in fraud.”

SheerID taps into more than 200,000 authoritative data sources to securely validate eligible customers for special offers, discounts and rewards programs.

More About The Inc. 5000

They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023.
