These professionals are reinventing, transforming and recreating the global loyalty business.“

Responsible for the fast rise of Stampix, Simon Tavernier, our co-founder and CEO made it to the 2020 list of finalists.

Simon in a nutshell

How does an Electromechanical Engineer end up in the Loyalty industry? The link is something we’re all passionate about: personal photos. As a third-generation in photo printing, cousins Simon & Anton founded Stampix in 2016 with a mission to make people happy with free photo prints, powered by brands.

With his analytical mindset and engineering background, Simon has turned Stampix from a small startup into an established tech- and fulfilment platform, reliable and flexible to meet the needs of global brands focusing on personalised emotional rewards. By integrating Stampix into the Loyalty programs of EDF, L’Oréal, Unilever & Orange, Simon could demonstrate the brand-building power of those millions of branded photos, increasing NPS & scoring newsletter opt-in rates as high as 85%.

The Stampix photo rewards are a powerful tool for brand building, confirmed by their customer insights: 63% of Stampix photos are displayed within the home for 2+ years and 33% are shared with family and friends. Although the average cost per mailing is less than £2, the perceived value of the Stampix photo rewards is between £5 and £10.

Married and father of 2, Simon makes sure to inspire the whole team on the importance of a work-life balance as a driver to success.
