LONDON, England — March 16 2021
LoyaltyLion, a leading loyalty and engagement platform for fast-growth ecommerce brands, today announced the closing of $12.5 million in Series A funding with an investment from Kennet Partners, an international growth equity firm whose portfolio includes high-growth companies in Europe and North America. This growth investment supports LoyaltyLion’s mission to help ecommerce brands build a better understanding of what will drive long lasting customer relationships and use those insights to create unique and rewarding loyalty programs.
This funding round takes place on the back of a number of years of significant growth for LoyaltyLion which it has achieved in a very capital efficient manner. In 2020, LoyaltyLion experienced triple digital revenue growth and doubled its headcount. With the new funding, LoyaltyLion plans to invest in growing its Development and Customer Success teams and further evolving its loyalty and engagement platform. This will give customers greater access to the loyalty expertise, features and integrations they need to build successful loyalty programs that connect and accelerate their ecommerce marketing efforts. They will also continue with global expansion plans and set up a physical office in North America.
As part of this investment for expansion, Michael Elias, managing director and founder of Kennet Partners, will join the LoyaltyLion board of directors.
