Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Movable Ink pioneered the technology behind contextual email marketing back in 2010, where customer context is assessed using millions of data points, generating a personal 1:1 creative the moment they open an email.
Recognising the potential of how their technology could create unique experiences for consumers, Movable Ink created their Visual Experience Platform, allowing them to create a personal experience on web and display as well as email.
Movable Ink’s visual experience platform effectively eliminates the production bottleneck that prevents brands from personalizing visual content at scale, meaning companies of all sizes can boost their engagement by offering a more personal service. This has been proven to boost customer engagement, loyalty, and revenue. Digital marketing is bigger now than ever, which has unicorn Movable Ink well set to see continued growth.
