Company profile
researched Aug 2026Digiphy operates an omnichannel marketing and data platform for consumer brands, built around turning physical and digital marketing touchpoints into data-capture and conversion points. Brands generate QR codes and smart links for product packaging, in-store assets, TV, billboards, digital ads, social and influencer campaigns, and connect them to no-code landing pages built from a module and template library. The platform captures consumer opt-ins, feedback and reviews, and reports on page effectiveness with A/B testing and self-serve omnichannel analytics.
The company's product set spans three areas it labels Acquire, Engage and Grow. Its Digiphy Connect solution combines rebate and offer campaigns, AI-driven two-way SMS messaging, first-party data capture, receipt verification and direct consumer reimbursement. In a typical flow, a brand launches a rebate or offer campaign from an ad, QR code or in-store display; consumers who opt in receive a brand-configured cadence of AI SMS messages; after purchase they submit proof of purchase, which Digiphy verifies through a mix of AI and human review before paying the consumer via PayPal or Venmo. Brands receive named leads, receipt-level purchase data tied to individual consumers, repeat-purchase and loyalty tracking, and attribution from marketing channel to retail sales.
The platform also supports transparency use cases, allowing brands to incorporate GS1, spreadsheet and other traceability data sources into pages, and integrates with e-commerce and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Klaviyo and Mailchimp. Earlier product materials cite integrations with Shopify, Google, Mailchimp, Ripe.io and GS1.
Founding story
Digiphy was founded by executives from large technology and media companies; the company states its leaders have over 60 years of collective experience at firms including Google, YouTube and Disney. A 2022 funding announcement named the founders as Sarah Wagman Ellenbogen, Oliver Luckett, Chris Scott and Heida Helgadottir, drawing on backgrounds at YouTube, Google, CAA, The Walt Disney Company, Niceland Seafood and theAudience. CEO and co-founder Sarah Wagman Ellenbogen spent 14 years at Google and YouTube in business development, sales and partnerships roles; CPO and co-founder Chris Scott has over two decades leading product and creative teams at technology start-ups.
Business model

Traction
Digiphy states over 1,000 companies use the platform and reports average lead capture rates of 14%, average reimbursement rates of 10%, and a 20% increase in loyalty and lifetime value.

Market position
Digiphy positions itself against the limited visibility brands have into retail purchases, offering first-party data capture and ad-to-retail attribution in a single platform. It states more than 1,000 companies use the platform and cites recognition as a 2022 Fast Company World Changing Idea and an Entrepreneurship World Cup 2023 winner.
The company emphasizes combining QR/link activation, no-code page building, first-party data capture, receipt-verified rebates with direct consumer payouts, and AI SMS engagement in one platform, linking physical marketing touchpoints to measurable retail sales rather than addressing those functions separately.
Technology
The platform combines dynamic QR code generation and management, smart links, and a no-code page builder with stackable modules and industry templates. It adds AI-powered two-way SMS messaging that adapts to a brand's voice, AI plus human review for receipt verification, payment disbursement through PayPal and Venmo, and analytics for attribution, A/B testing and audience reporting. Traceability data can be ingested from GS1, spreadsheet files and other sources; earlier materials describe incorporating supply chain traceability and claims verification blockchain data through a partner integration.
