idio Ltd. is an enterprise software company that produces and implements products for brands and publishers. To do so, idio uses its cloud-hosted platform, which incorporates modules for large-scale content aggregation and structuring, content analytics (most fundamentally, semantic extraction), multi-channel marketing automation, and customer insight generation. idio has offices in London and Exeter in the UK.
In early 2011, idio acquired thru digital to expand its engineering team and set up a London office.[1] [2]
idio was founded in 2006, by Edward Barrow and Andrew Davies, at Warwick Business School in the UK, with the aim of building a system to personalize content effectively. After several months, idiomag was launched.[3] This consumer-facing personalized music magazine was a proving ground for the technical and commercial approach of idio. Based on this, idio refocused on a business-to-business proposition, and started licensing the technology to brands and publishers; to aggregate social media content, deliver personalized multi-channel content services, and to monitor user interactions. idio has since refined this proposition and delivers a range of content and customer intelligence solutions.[4]
idio has a growing range of modules built on its platform,[5] including the following:

This enables users to install Chrome Extensions from many publishers and get customized alerts when relevant news is posted. The Independent launched one in January 2010, and it now used by 20,815 people.[6]
