Included for the fourth consecutive year, Attentive is the sole messaging marketing platform awarded

Attentive, the AI-powered SMS and email marketing platform, has been named to the Forbes 2024 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.

“At Attentive, our top priority is to help brands deliver bespoke customer experiences that help them drive revenue and loyalty,” said Amit Jhawar, CEO of Attentive. “Being included in the Forbes Cloud 100 for the fourth year is a testament to our continuous product expansions over the years, our Attentive AI capabilities that power average revenue boosts of 124%, and our commitment to helping marketers ensure every message counts.”

In the last year, Attentive has generated more than $20 billion in revenue for its customers, an impressive growth rate of over 40%. Through Attentive’s enterprise-grade platform and AI technology, brands have the opportunity to evolve from traditional one-to-many messages towards true one-to-one personalization, driving increased conversion and revenue.

Attentive’s notable advancements this year include the launch of two premium AI-powered solutions: AI Pro and AI Journeys. As part of the Attentive AI suite, these solutions enable brands to send hyper-personalized messages that drive maximum performance, by optimizing the audience, content, timing, and destination of each message. With hundreds of brands who have tested either of the two products, Attentive sets a new standard in the marketing industry, optimizing every aspect of message delivery for the highest impact. Leading brands, including Hot Topic, Crate & Barrel, and UGG, have noted an average 124% lift in revenue.

Additional milestones achieved by Attentive include:

• Enhancing Attentive Email to help marketers seamlessly integrate SMS and email strategies, achieving an average 95% increase in revenue for triggered email.
• Expanding its global platform to more than 20 countries as a testament to its rapid growth, achieving 128% revenue growth in the U.K.
• Servicing new verticals, including sports, media, and entertainment. More than 40% of major professional sports leagues are leveraging Attentive for fan engagement and ticket sales.
• Helping brands send 2.2 billion text messages during Cyber Week 2023, resulting in generating over $1.8 billion in revenue in that week.

For the ninth consecutive year, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies each year. The Cloud 100 evaluation process involved ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). For market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists the help of a judging panel of public cloud company CEOs who assist in evaluating and ranking their private company peers.

“For nine years, the Forbes Cloud 100 list has recognized the leading private cloud companies in the world, from AI to work software, infrastructure to security,” said Alex Konrad, the Forbes editor of the Cloud 100. “This year’s list is the strongest group of standouts yet, with revenue, valuations and growth that will eventually make for historic IPOs.”

The Forbes 2024 Cloud 100 and 20 Rising Stars lists are published online. Highlights of the list appear in the August/September 2024 issue of Forbes magazine.
