About
Architects of loyalty & engagement
Augeo is a global leader in loyalty and engagement technologies that create data-driven experiences, foster human connections and cultivate brand advocates worldwide.
Our mission
Decoding what moves people, one interaction, transaction and experience at a time
Augeo accelerates loyalty and engagement, strengthens brand affinity, amplifies organizational momentum and drives sustainable growth for our partners. We leverage proven strategies and disruptive technologies to activate our holistic engagement system, a complementary suite of solutions across Workplace, Loyalty, Experiential and Social.
Founded in 1999, Augeo grew from David Kristal’s family business, Embers Restaurants, a beloved Midwestern staple. Inspired by his father Henry’s entrepreneurial spirit, David transformed a restaurant buying program into a hospitality loyalty platform. Along the way, he reunited with longtime friend Juan Sabater, bringing together complementary strengths and a shared vision. Together, they built the foundation for Augeo’s evolution into a global engagement company.
For 27 years, Augeo has led the loyalty and engagement industry, and today we’re defining its next era. Our connected approach pairs intelligent innovation with human expertise, helping businesses in every category build authentic, lasting loyalty with every audience they serve and every workforce they support. We partner with 100 Fortune 500 companies and serve millions of people in over 180 countries. At the center is a single agentic operating system that reads behavioral signals, applies context, predicts what moves each person, and acts in the moment, across every audience and within the tools you already use. The result is real business impact, enterprise-wide.
