NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- News America Marketing announced that Checkout 51, their newly acquired mobile savings app has won Juniper Research's Future Digital Award for Best Platform for Mobile Coupons, beating out a number of influential industry players for the title. Checkout 51 enables consumers to browse weekly discount offers on a wide range of grocery items and then redeem the offers post-purchase by taking a photo of their receipt.
The Future Digital Awards are awarded annually by Juniper Research – a company that specializes in identifying and appraising high growth market sectors within the digital ecosystem – to companies that have an unrivaled position in their sector, and are poised to make considerable industry impact.

"It's a thrill to be recognized for innovation in the online and mobile space by a globally respected organization like Juniper Research," said Noah Godfrey, Founder of Checkout 51. "We will continue to be on the cutting edge of savings technology, offering consumers new, easy ways to stretch their budgets, and providing our CPG clients with data to provide consumers engaging offers while delivering real-time insights into their products."

We feel strongly that the app has a unique, industry-elevating product, and one that will continue to grow and develop in the near future and beyond."
Checkout 51, which was acquired by News America Marketing in July, reinvents couponing in the mobile era, giving shoppers cash back for taking photos of their grocery receipts, and offering brands real-time insights and consumer segmentation.
