For IOI, a fast-growing, fast-moving player in the gaming world, it was Agillic’s flexible data model and understanding of their business that made the decision to level up an easy one.Danish gaming company IO Interactive (IOI), which has studios in Copenhagen, Malmö, and Barcelona, publishes the highly successful game Hitman, which has over 70 million players. In November 2020, IO Interactive announced that they will develop and publish a brand-new James Bond video game.

With Agillic we can use and activate our extremely complex data, based on activity levels, interests etc in an effective way. And without having to cannibalize on our own developers.” says Marc Skouborg, CMO at IO Interactive.IO Interactive’s communication needs, including the complex data structure, the sheer volume of communication needed, and the importance of being able to scale up quickly, all posed challenges to their implementation of Agillic.

With the new platform in place, IO Interactive now has the right power to attract new players, elevate welcome flows, encourage upgrades and much more.Emre Gürsoy, CEO at Agillic comments:”We are very happy to welcome IO Interactive to the Agillic family.
