PROVO, UT - SmartyStreets, a leader in location data intelligence, announces today a comprehensive rebrand to Smarty. The new branding is a reflection of the rapidly growing spectrum of forthcoming products related to location data intelligence.

SmartyStreets is Becoming Smarty

Founded in 2011, SmartyStreets began with a simple mission to offer smart street address validation software for the United States. Focusing on street data made the name ‘SmartyStreets’ a logical fit. Subsequent product releases in the fields of geocoding, reverse geocoding, and address autocomplete began to move SmartyStreets from just street data into the broader category of location data intelligence.

“Many of our products already blurred the line between street and location data” said Jonathan Oliver, Founder and CTO of SmartyStreets adding “Those extra 7 characters have felt restrictive for a while now and where we’re going, we don’t need streets.”

SmartyStreets remains committed to the ongoing improvement and support of original product lines. Under the new moniker, Smarty will also be releasing several location data intelligence products that are slated to launch in 2022. The new Smarty products will satisfy business needs for address lists, geocoding, and both census and parcel data. These launches will further solidify Smarty as a leader in global location data intelligence services.

“If the word “Streets” was already serving as an immense gravitational weight on where we wanted to grow,” Oliver continued, “2022 will show that Smarty has been hover-converted and is ready to travel the skyways and hyperlanes of the location intelligence future.”

The rollout is expected to be completed early Q1 2022 and will include a transition from SmartyStreets.com to Smarty.com as well as an update to the corporate logo.

Accessibility best practices at Smarty

An enterprise-level customer of Smarty’s recently shared how impressed they were with our accessibility-first approach, inquiring about how we designed our tools to function in a way that feels equitable and usable for everyone. At Smarty, one of our core values is outwardness — seeing people as people, not objects or caricatures. Every person who interacts with our tools has their own needs, wants, and objectives, and accessibility is one of the most meaningful ways we connect with people - an area we’re striving to improve.
Introducing Smarty’s mascot… Hermes?

Greek gods, as it turns out, have a lot to say to the mortals on Earth and the souls in Hades. What they don’t have is time to travel from Olympus all the way to Earth or Hades just to tell a mere mortal to perform 12 labors… or eat a magical herb… or free Odysseus. That’s why the gods have a personal messenger: Hermes. Equipped with winged sandals, Hermes travels between Olympus, Earth, and the underworld with lightning speed (Get it? Lightning? Because his dad is Zeus? 🤣)Smarty also knows a thing or two about outrageous speed, and that’s not where our similarities with Hermes end.
How to build and validate address lists for direct mail marketing

Looking to build a direct mail marketing campaign? You’ve come to the right spot. Before you can send marketing mail like a pro, you’ll need to build a list of verified addresses. Otherwise, frequent misdeliveries and costly redeliveries can take the wind right out of your campaign’s sails. On top of that, a bad address list could lead you to miss out on mind-blowing postal discounts. 😱Don’t let bad addresses capsize your campaign. With a US Master Address List of over 210 million verified addresses—available by state, county, or nationwide—and shipshape US Address Verification, you can construct new lists or clean active ones with the swagger of a seasoned captain.
