ODIV joins iO, strengthening AI-native performance marketing expertise

 

Utrecht, October 2026 — ODIV, a leading Utrecht-based online marketing agency specializing in performance marketing, is joining iO and becoming part of Campus Utrecht. This move strengthens iO’s position as an AI-native partner in Design, Marketing & Technology and further expands its performance marketing expertise.

Accelerating AI-driven marketing

Performance marketing is one of iO’s key growth pillars. With the arrival of ODIV, iO takes a concrete step in that direction: adding 22 specialized experts who strengthen the proposition and help clients accelerate in marketing, performance, AI, and technology. Together, iO and ODIV see great opportunities in enabling clients to excel in a market where AI is rapidly changing the rules of the game.

Choosing iO feels like a very logical and exciting next step. We retain our autonomy and agility as a boutique agency, but now combine that with iO’s vast knowledge and AI innovations, such as the iO Bonzai platform. The personal connection was the deciding factor for us. It quickly became clear that we share the same values and approach things in exactly the same way. This allows us to make an even greater impact for our clients together." Joost Fromberg, Managing Director, ODIV
ODIV joining us directly strengthens our performance marketing proposition. The deep expertise of ODIV’s specialists will further bolster our positioning, both with our clients and within our internal teams. I look forward to the cross-pollination and collaboration." Rachel Vermeulen, Country Director iO
