Valimail Introduces BIMI Simulator to Revolutionize Email Authentication and Branding

Valimail, a leader in email authentication and anti-impersonation solutions, has unveiled the BIMI Simulator, a groundbreaking tool designed to help brands visualize and optimize their email presence through Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI). As the first platform of its kind, the BIMI Simulator enables organizations to preview how their logos will appear in emails, assess brand impression opportunities, and gain insights into competitors’ email branding strategies.

Advancing BIMI Adoption and Industry Standards

Since 2018, Valimail has played a key role in BIMI’s development as part of the AuthIndicators Working Group, the founding body behind BIMI. The company has been instrumental in establishing industry standards that allow brands to display their logos in email inboxes, increasing trust and engagement. More recently, Valimail contributed to the launch of the Common Mark Certificate (CMC), a new enhancement to BIMI that makes email branding more accessible—especially for businesses without registered trademarks—while maintaining security and authentication best practices.

According to Wombatmail, BIMI adoption surged by 28.4% from January 2024 to January 2025 among the top ten million domains. Additionally, a Yahoo Mail study found that BIMI implementation can boost email engagement by up to 10%. Beyond increasing engagement, BIMI provides a cost-effective way for brands to enhance visibility in inboxes, offering valuable impressions at a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising.

Unlocking the Power of BIMI with Valimail’s BIMI Simulator

With support for BIMI verification standards from major email providers—including Google, Apple, and Yahoo!—Valimail’s BIMI Simulator provides brands with a powerful tool to evaluate BIMI’s impact. By offering a tangible preview of how BIMI enhances brand trust and protection, the simulator helps businesses make informed decisions about BIMI implementation.

The downloadable report generated by the BIMI Simulator includes:

  • BIMI Simulator: A visualization tool that allows brands to see how their logo will appear in BIMI-compliant inboxes.
  • BIMI Audience Insights Report: Analytics that provide a breakdown of outbound email traffic sent to BIMI-supported mailboxes over the last 30 days.
  • BIMI Inspiration: A catalog showcasing public BIMI records and logos of leading brands, offering competitive insights and inspiration for businesses considering BIMI adoption.

Integrating BIMI with Email Security Best Practices

A critical requirement for BIMI implementation is achieving Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) enforcement. DMARC is a vital email security protocol that prevents domain spoofing and phishing attacks, ensuring only authorized senders can use a domain. By integrating BIMI with DMARC, businesses transform email authentication from a security measure into a powerful branding asset that enhances trust and engagement.

“Brand amplification and protection via BIMI adds additional ROI benefits to DMARC enforcement,” said Alexander Garcia-Tobar, CEO and Co-Founder of Valimail. “Our pioneering work with BIMI goes beyond security—it helps drive top-line revenue. By visualizing the impact of BIMI, we’re encouraging collaboration between marketing, IT, and security teams to build a stronger defense against impersonation while ensuring their brand stands out in every inbox.”

With the launch of the BIMI Simulator, Valimail continues to lead the industry in email authentication innovation, empowering brands to maximize their email marketing potential while strengthening security and customer trust.
