iO breaks new ground in Denmark with Peytz & Co acquisition

End-to-end agency iO is entering the Danish market with its acquisition of Peytz & Co, a market-leading digital agency. This emphasises iO’s commitment to investing in the Nordics.

Copenhagen, 8 September 2022 — iO, an agency that brings together strategy, creation, content, marketing, and technology to support clients in their communication and digital transformation, is expanding into new markets by acquiring Peytz & Co, one of Denmark’s leading digital agencies. After an ambitious buy-and-build journey in the Benelux, the time is right to double down on our investments in the Nordics, says CEO Pieter Janssens.

Danish full-service pioneer

Peytz & Co is a market-leading digital agency, highly specialised in creating tailor-made, reliable, and efficient development solutions for well-established Danish brands. The client portfolio includes, among others, Fitness World, Chr. Hansen Holding A/S, and the Danish Meteorological Institute. Peytz & Co, with a turnover of €10.3 million, is a catalyst for iO’s further Nordic growth, bringing an influx of 100+ digital experts to the agency.

Laust Jørgensen, CEO at Peytz & Co:

“Peytz & Co and iO share the same mission: to advance digitally together, with clients and society, creating future-proof solutions. We’re looking forward to being a part of the Nordic expansion.”

Fuelling iO’s buy-and-build strategy in the Nordics

There’s no doubt that iO will continue to grow in the Nordics. This ambition is highlighted by Peytz & Co being the agency's third acquisition in the region in under twelve months. Earlier this year, two trailblazing Swedish agencies — Stendahls and Awave — also joined iO.

iO carefully selects markets with a high degree of digital adoption. This makes Nordics a high-potential market where the agency’s end-to-end offer can create real added value, for organisations and consumers alike. Denmark specifically is a country rich in digital and creative expertise.

Henrik Segergren, Growth Director at iO Nordics, comments:

“Stendahls was iO’s first acquisition in the Nordics, and to be joined by a great agency like Peytz & Co is proof that the latest chapter of iO’s story is in full effect – right here.”
