Liftoff Honored As Gold Stevie® Award Winner In 2018 American Business Awards®

Liftoff, the leader in mobile app marketing and retargeting, today was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Fastest-Growing Tech Company of the Year category in The 16^th Annual American Business Awards®. The company experienced 108 percent revenue growth and 68 percent employee growth since the start of 2017, earning it the top honor in its category for 2018.
 
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.  Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned,” the awards will be presented to winners at a gala ceremony at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York on Monday, June 11. Tickets are now on sale.
 
More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Live Event of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. Liftoff was nominated in the Fastest-Growing Tech Company of the Year category for medium-sized companies.
 
Liftoff is a performance-based mobile app marketing and retargeting platform which uses post-install user data to run true cost-per-action user acquisition and retention campaigns. In an industry where a cost-per-install business model is the norm, Liftoff’s cost-per-action model has helped customers reduce their cost-per-first-purchase by an average of 50 percent, and increased app activations by an average of over 100 percent. Ultimately, Liftoff only makes money when their customers do, and thus its success is inextricably linked to the customer’s success.
 
The company has experienced massive demand for its CPA-optimized approach, fueling a rapidly growing global customer base of Fortune 1000 and mobile-first companies.  The team also grew by over 60 percent last year and now has 6 offices in Palo Alto (HQ), NYC, London, Paris, Singapore and Tokyo.  As one American Business Awards 2018 judge put it, Liftoff showed “truly monumental achievements and encouraging upward momentum. The revenue and employee growth have me excited for Liftoff’s 2018 progress, which I am certain will be nothing short of exceptional.”
 
“Beyond expanding our offerings, we’re thrilled that our growth over the last year has allowed us to expand our offering geographically, and bring Liftoff’s core differentiated assets to customers around the world,” said Liftoff CEO and co-founder Mark Ellis. “It’s an honor to have Liftoff recognized among a number of impressive businesses paving their own way, and we look forward to what this year will bring.”
 
More than 200 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.  “The nominations submitted for The 2018 American Business Awards were outstanding.  The competition was intense, and those recognized as Stevie Award winners should be immensely proud of this accomplishment,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards.
