About the brand & culture of iO.
iO is a blended agency: we bring experts in marketing, technology, content, strategy and creation together. With ‘experience is everything’ as our mantra, we help our clients create a relevant and rich brand experience for their customers. Audi, Brussels Airport, Efteling, Eneco, Fiberklaar and Worldline are some of the many strong brands we have pushed to the next level. iO was founded in 2005 (named Intracto) and operates across various campuses in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark, supporting local and international companies, organisations and governments.
In this hyperdigital, connected world, brands struggle to keep all touchpoints up and running and guarantee a seamless experience. Every touchpoint or interaction should offer the consumer a seamless experience because users no longer have a digital tolerance for error, which puts a lot of pressure on companies’ shoulders.
To create these seamless experiences, you need an integrated agency that blends every field of expertise across the customer journey. Our experts in strategy, technology, data, content, creation, and marketing collaborate to create exceptional, seamless brand and customer experiences. In other words, we have every ingredient and expertise to create the perfect blend for our clients.
That’s why iO believes that Experience is everything.
As a business partner who wants to keep evolving, iO wants to be the best of both worlds: marketing agency, technological service provider, innovation and business consultant and creative agency. When you rely on iO, you can call on a dedicated team of experts from every field your organisation needs to grow. The talent blend we offer, combining technology, creation, strategy, content and marketing, makes a difference for your brand and business both on- and offline. We collaborate efficiently and consistently to get strong results. Do you want to know what that would look like for your organisation? Contact us for an obligation-free chat!
Our backgrounds and expertise may be different, but we all have a hands-on, can-do attitude and are thinkers as well as doers. We love working together, are curious and pioneer technological innovations.
That is reflected in our values:
Perform together: from ambition to reality, as a team
Personal growth: we support talent development

Together, we can do more. The power of a team is more than the sum of its parts. You get the gist. That’s because we set up blended teams. Our diversity in interests, nationalities, expertise, perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds leads to the best ideas. And they only get value when we execute them. We are problem solvers: we want to move forward and focus on results.
Every iO employee is a crucial part of that. We reach our common goal thanks to every individual’s talents and skills. We believe in continuous development and invest in that as an organisation. Let’s all blend in and stand out!
