Things we see Studio sessions
Bringing knowledge to you virtually
In times when the digital connection is one of the main ways of communication, BrandLoyalty took the step to innovate and bring our knowledge to you virtually.
Things we see | Studio sessions became a thought-provoking platform, where renowned speakers brought to light challenging and intriguing ideas concerning not only food retail but business and innovation in general. Having facilitated 3 sessions this year, we are beyond excited to kick off 2022 with more sessions.

More than €20,000 raised in 2021.
Staying connected
no matter what
2021 was also a year of building even stronger connections within BrandLoyalty. With many colleagues working from home, not being able to travel or attend events, we had to get creative in bringing unity and contact. And we achieved it with many small wins.
We kicked off the year with our first virtual Carnival, where colleagues worldwide joined in with the Dutch tradition.
We must not forget our phenomenal internal events where colleagues gathered in a hybrid way to be inspired by presentations, deep-dive sessions, and panel discussions. Between all that, we celebrated Chinese New Year, wished ‘Eid Mubarak!’ to colleagues worldwide, celebrated all nationalities with Mother Language Day, and cheered for EURO 2020.
We strive to create a hybrid work environment where true connection still thrives – and we will continue to do so.
We’re looking forward to connecting with all of you, in 2022!

Standi goes international
After successfully launching Standi at DekaMarkt, in the Netherlands, Standi has this year traveled across the borders to the retail giant of France - Carrefour. The 2nd launch was a great success, as BrandLoyalty provided 7 units to Carrefour, which were spread across a hypermarket and a supermarket.
To service the high number of shoppers, especially in the hypermarket, Carrefour and BrandLoyalty developed new, improved, and faster mechanisms to read tickets and dispense stamps. This way, Carrefour could gain efficiency by saving time while Standi managed an accurate and secure distribution of stamps.
Curious to discover what value Standi can bring to your stores?

Success stories
A loyalty powerhouse that is second to none
BrandLoyalty is now part of Loyalty Ventures Inc.
Since 2014, BrandLoyalty has been part of the Alliance Data Systems (ADS) family, combined with AIRMILES under its LoyaltyOne arm. In November, BrandLoyalty and AIRMILES officially separated from ADS to become an independent, publicly traded company under the name of Loyalty Ventures Inc.
Loyalty Ventures Inc. is a leading provider of tech-enabled, data-driven consumer loyalty solutions. Its solutions are focused on helping partners achieve their strategic and financial objectives, from increased consumer basket size, shopper traffic and frequency and digital reach to enhanced program reporting and analytics.
To celebrate the momentous occasion Loyalty Ventures Inc. held a bell ringing ceremony on the Nasdaq, with colleagues from BrandLoyalty and AIRMILES projected onto the big screen in Times Square in New York.
Loyalty Ventures Inc. shares can now be traded on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker LYLT.
