In 2023, Sparkfly earned recognition from the following award organizations:
Atlanta Pacesetter Awards: Sparkfly was named among Atlanta's fastest-growing private companies, securing the 73rd spot in the Atlanta Pacesetter Awards. This recognition is a testament to the company's impressive growth, which saw a nearly 80 percent increase in revenue and a 135 percent increase in its employee base between 2020 and 2022. Sparkfly's growth was largely driven by adding 15 new logos to its extensive portfolio of retail partners and extending a long-term contract with Chipotle.
Modern Retail Awards: The Modern Retail Awards recognize the companies and campaigns modernizing retail in the digital age. This year, Sparkfly received the coveted "Best Transformation" award for its collaboration with Bojangles. Since joining forces with Sparkfly to overhaul the restaurant’s digital engagement strategy, Bojangles has experienced nearly a 500 percent increase in loyalty program participation and a 158 percent increase in mobile orders.
Retail Technology Innovation Hub Awards: The annual Retail Technology Innovation Hub Awards celebrates those at the forefront of retail digital transformation. Sparkfly, in collaboration with Bojangles, was recognized as the winner in the “Technology Implementation of the Year (Rest of World)” category. Additionally, their partnership with Chipotle was named a finalist in the “Best Retailer/Technology Supplier Relationship (Rest of World)” category.
Loyalty360 Customer Experience Awards: Loyalty360’s Customer Experience Awards honor brands that build more robust and deeper loyalty with their customers in a proactive, meaningful, and—most importantly—measurable way. Sparkfly's collaboration with Bojangles received Gold in the “Multi-Channel Experience” category and best overall in the “Innovation in Customer Experience” category.
“From the onset of our digital transformation journey, our focus has been on building for the future, not just catching up," said Sergio Perez, Sr. Director of Omnichannel at Bojangles. “With Sparkfly, we've introduced functionalities that truly understand and meet our customers’ needs, creating real value and transforming how they interact with Bojangles.
