Innovation Week at Fetch is a time for our teams to step away from the day-to-day, build bold ideas, and explore what's next with AI. As we look ahead, we believe the most impactful AI will understand real purchase behavior. That's the thinking behind the Fetch AI Intelligence Layer: a foundation for more relevant rewards, stronger brand partnerships, and AI-powered experiences that help people live rewarded.

Last weekend, Fetch proudly joined the Chicago Pride Parade. From marching through the city to celebrating alongside our LGBTQIA+ employees and communities, the day was filled with energy, connection, and joy. A heartfelt thank you to our Pride+ ERG and everyone who helped make this year's participation possible. Pride is about creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to Live Proud—at work, in our communities, and beyond.
Restaurant spending is among the most-watched categories in consumer behavior. But the receipts tell a more surprising story than anyone expected. 📋 In the latest edition of Fetch Finds, we dug into real transaction data across QSR, fast casual, casual dining, and more – and what we found was messier, stranger, and more interesting than what you’d expect.

We also celebrated through interactive games, crafts, and a lively Double Dutch class—honoring culture, fostering connection, and embracing the joy that makes our communities stronger. hashtag#Juneteenth hashtag#FreedomDay
A campaign can drive a purchase. But can it create a lasting customer? New research from Fetch x Bain & Company found that rewards influence the behaviors that build valuable customers. ▪️ CPG rewards delivered a net return of 7.2x spending and a 20.7% sales uplift over one year. ▪️ For retailers, rewards drove an 8.4% sales lift over one year, powered by an 11% increase in shopping frequency. Sales lift tells you what happened. Customer value shows what happens next. Read the full Bain & Company study: https://lnkd.in/gcRtwnqC
