FAIRFAX, Virginia (July 22, 2019) – ICF Next, the integrated marketing and communications services group of ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), announced today that it was named a “Strong Performer” among loyalty service providers by leading global research and advisory firm Forrester Research in The Forrester Wave™: Loyalty Service Providers, Q3 2019.
“Clients are very satisfied with ICF Next’s insights services and account teams, offering high praise for its intelligence, consistency and investment in client success,” the report stated. One reference shared that [ICF Next] “exceeded our expectations on every count.”
The agency was evaluated across multiple criteria and received the highest possible rating in five: loyalty strategy services, customer insights services, privacy and security, account management and change management tools and services.
Earlier in 2019, ICF Next was recognized as a “Leader” in another loyalty report focused on technology platforms, The Forrester Wave™: Loyalty Technology Platforms, Q2 2019. The agency believes that placement in both reports underscores its ability to provide both an industry-leading loyalty technology platform as well as strategic guidance and services to clients that establish and enhance the customer experience. ICF Next’s loyalty technology, Tally®, drives emotional and behavioral brand loyalty through personalized interactions and powers programs for some of the world’s leading hospitality, travel, retail and restaurant brands.
