iO wins AI Pioneer Agency of the year Award and goes all-in on AI as a growth driver for clients

AI is firmly embedding itself in the marketing world. Not as hype, but as a strategic instrument that makes the difference between organisations that experiment and organisations that deliver results. iO positions itself as an AI-native agency and aims to close that gap for its clients — with concrete solutions, not slides. From AI experiment to AI result: closing the gap is the challenge of today.

From AI Pioneer to AI-native agency

iO was named winner of the MM Agency of the Year Award (organized by MM & Pitchpoint) in the category AI Pioneer. A recognition that confirms iO’s ambition: the full transformation into an AI-native organisation. CEO Pieter Janssens is clear about the direction:

"This year is all about truly embedding AI into our clients' businesses and ensuring they gain a fundamental competitive advantage in their market."


That approach translates into concrete products and services, including iO Bonzai — iO's own AI platform for clients. According to iO, Bonzai marks a new phase in professional AI adoption: moving away from experimentation and towards structural deployment with measurable business value.

AI for Business: a three-day event in June

To help organisations make the step from AI experiment to AI result, iO is organising the AI for Business event in June. Over three days, speakers and experts will zoom in on five shifts that are fundamentally reshaping the market:

  • SHIFT 01 — AI Strategy & Direction
  • SHIFT 02 — AI for Business Growth
  • SHIFT 03 — AI for User Experience
  • SHIFT 04 — AI for Operations & Customer Service
  • SHIFT 05 — AI Architecture & Foundations

The event focuses on the widening gap between organisations that are trying out AI and those already creating measurable value with it — and how to close it.
