WhatsApp what?
WhatsApp, still one of the most popular messaging apps in Europe, now includes WhatsApp Channels. These allow companies, brands, and organisations to share updates with anyone subscribed to their channel.
As a subscriber, you cannot send messages yourself in these channels. However, you can respond with emojis to the messages that appear in the channel.
iO News & Insights — the WhatsApp Channel for all our updates
As digital pioneers, we see a new way to engage with you - and of course, we can't help but be excited.
On the iO News & Insights channel, we regularly share in-house updates and relevant insights on marketing, technology, data, innovation, creativity, and more.
And of course, we always keep your privacy in mind. Neither administrators nor other subscribers can see your name and phone number. Even when you respond to a particular update with an emoji, your identity remains protected: subscribers get to see how many emoji responses there are, but not who they come from.
How to subscribe to iO's WhatsApp Channel?
Subscribing to iO's WhatsApp Channel is simple — just follow these steps:

From a brilliant seasonal whodunnit, to cringe-worthy singing oven mitts: here’s the very best (and worst...) Christmas commercials of 2024.
It's the most wonderful time of the year again! Christmas! Or no, better still: it’s time to feast our eyes on the spectacular (British) Christmas commercials. They’ve released a tidal wave of clichés (snow, turkey, tears, Santa Claus/women in all shapes and sizes and gifts, lots of gifts). What’s striking about this year: the brands you expect a lot from are disappointing (spoiler 1: Disney...)
