Braze, provider of a customer engagement platform, will open an office in Chicago early next year -- its fifth overall -- and claims that it has attained $100 million in annualized recurring revenue. 

The company says it sent 2.9 billion messages on Black Friday, including 530 million emails, 1.62 billion mobile messages, and 96 million web pushes.  

Braze is headquartered in New York and also has offices in London, San Francisco, and Singapore. It expects to hit the 500-employee mark early in 2020.
