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:

Flawless content migrations
Do you want to rebrand your organisation? Is an acquisition or merger imminent? Or do you want to improve your customer experience, and does this require an organisational change?

2023: a year in an era of change
Does the name Leonhard Huizinga still ring a bell for anyone? Once a popular Dutch writer, now forgotten. He made his debut in 1936 with the book 'De Gestroomlijnde Wereld'. Already a wanderer at a young age, Huizinga's book opened an unknown world to many readers. An exotic world, which seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, because it was more accessible by car, train, boat, and airplane. Faster, more comfortable and with more and more streamlining — quite literally. Curious, boundless, full of wonder. Not realising, as early as 1936, that over that same world lay the shadows of tomorrow.Read more

Building trust in a cookieless era
We all know third-party cookies, a marketer's bread and butter, are leaving the building. The cookieless future was irrevocably set into motion when Google decided to remove them completely by 2024. This presents us with the unique challenge of tracking an audience that does not only demand an excellent experience but is increasingly privacy-conscious, too – quite paradoxical, we know. You’ve probably also heard that first-party data is the way to go. So, how can you turn leads into returning customers and, more importantly, how will you procure their data? We suggest a trust-first marketing approach that focuses on excellent content to establish a relationship with customers and users, making them more inclined to share their data with you.Read more

Bing: a new search engine gateway to your target audience
Google is the unequivocal search engine market leader (and probably will be for a while). However, when it comes to search queries, there’s a challenger to that monopoly: Bing by Microsoft.

That growing influence and Bing’s market share are some aspects you should leverage in your digital strategies. You can ignore 5% of your potential visitors, but ignoring 18% of the queries that lead to your business would probably have a significant impact on your business – and not in a good way.Read more

Historical data export - Universal Analytics
Deadline for exporting Universal Analytics: 1st of July 2024 After the 1st of July 2024, it will no longer be possible to access data in Universal Analytics. Therefore, it’s essential to take timely action and export the data before that day. By exporting the data before the access is closed, you can gain valuable insights, store the data securely and take any further actions.

That way, you can later use the data for further analysis or transformation purposes. By acting now, you can ensure that you don’t lose the valuable data and are well prepared for the future. So don't wait until the last minute - make sure you export the data from Universal Analytics before 1 July to a secure environment, where you can continue to use it.Read more

Migrating to Sitecore XM Cloud: The step towards a Composable DXP
