More than 250 million consumers have been verified from hundreds of leading brands

Portland, OR —  February 15, 2022 — SheerID, the identity marketing platform used by hundreds of leading brands around the world, announced that it has verified consumers for more than 250 million exclusive marketing offers worldwide. Also this year, the company hired its 200th employee and was recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in North America by Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500TM for the third consecutive year.

These milestones coincide with the company’s 10-year anniversary in the personalization industry that was recently estimated to be worth $1 trillion according to a recent McKinsey report. Working with more than 250 B2C brands – such as Amazon, Comcast, HomeDepot, NASCAR, Target, and YouTube – SheerID helps them create gated, personalized offers to instantly verify a consumer’s eligibility with authoritative data in the brand’s existing purchase experience. 

“I’m extremely proud of and grateful to all of our employees, client partners, and investors who have helped get SheerID to this point. In many ways, this is just the beginning, as we have a number of exciting product capabilities to unveil in 2022,” said Jake Weatherly, Chief Executive Officer of SheerID. “Looking ahead, there are massive data challenges digital marketers need to overcome due to the loss of 3rd party cookies and changing consumer attitudes. SheerID will continue to lead the way in providing the gold standard in verified opt-in data marketers use to create winning campaigns that build consumer trust.”
