SD-WAN Market Leader Aryaka Selected Among Finalists for Marketers That Matter® Award for Tripling Revenue in Last Three Years

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 03, 2018 -- Aryaka®, the leading global SD-WAN provider, announced today that its marketing organization has been recognized as a 2018 Marketers That Matter® Finalist in the “Driving Growth” and “Transformation Journey” categories. Through tripling revenue and improving its brand recognition score by 32 times in the last three years, Aryaka represents the first SD-WAN provider included on the list of finalists.

Over the past three years Aryaka has expanded its customer base to more than 800 global enterprises. It is now the number one pure play provider in the SD-WAN category by market share and revenue.

“By listening to our customers and maintaining a relentless dedication to their business success, we have effectively shifted how we attract and retain them. In 2015, most of our demand came from outbound activities. Today, the majority of direct sales comes from inbound requests,” said Gary Sevounts, Chief Marketing Officer at Aryaka. “We leveraged data science and took a 360° approach to refine our marketing mix, content, and message to best resonate with customer needs.”

Sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, the Marketers That Matter® Awards recognize innovative marketing initiatives that are creating measurable results.

An elite panel of judges comprised of CEOs, CMOs, and senior executives from Clif Bar, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Logitech, Old Navy, OpenTable, Salesforce, Sephora, Visa and many others select the finalists and winners based on their creative approach, company impact, and measurable results.

“The best marketers today are focused on new approaches that drive business results for their companies and the customers they serve,” said Cara France, Sage Group CEO. “The Marketers that Matter Finalists are mastering marketing in this transformative time.”

“This recognition reaffirms our marketing organization’s dedication and hard work, enabling us to maintain a 70 – 100% year-over-year growth rate and a 98% customer retention rate,” said Shawn Farshchi, President and CEO of Aryaka.
