Our story

Started in Scotland. Built for the world.

Neist Point lighthouse, Isle of Skye, iovox founding landscape

In January 2007, Ryan and Belinda Gallagher founded iovox in the Scottish countryside with a simple conviction: the most valuable moment in any customer journey was the one nobody was measuring.

Clicks had become data. Campaigns had become science. But the conversation, where intent was highest, decisions were made and revenue was won or lost, remained invisible. iovox was built to change that.

The name says it all. io: the power symbol. vox: the Latin for voice.

What followed was nearly two decades of building: telco-grade infrastructure, Tier 1 Carrier status, expansion across 100+ countries, and partnerships with some of the world's most trusted marketplaces: AutoTrader UK, Zoopla, OpenTable. And through all of it, one question never changed: what's really happening in that conversation?

Today, with AI, we can answer it faster, deeper, and across every channel it happens on.

We didn't start as an AI company. We started as a data company. That's exactly why the AI works.

Our core values

What we stand for.

⚖ LAWFUL

We will never bend the law.

Every product decision, every data practice, every integration is built to operate within the rules, no shortcuts, no grey areas.

◎ ETHICAL

We will always uphold our end of any agreement.

With customers, partners, and each other, we do what we say we'll do. Full stop.

▲ DRIVEN

We are here to help our customers grow.

Every feature we ship, every integration we build, is measured against one question: does this help our customers win more business?

◈ COLLABORATIVE

We believe in sharing information and expertise.

Knowledge hoarded is knowledge wasted. We share openly, inside the team, with customers and with the wider community.

❖ ALL-INCLUSIVE

Everyone can contribute to the company's success.

The best ideas come from everywhere. We build a team where every person, regardless of role or background, has a voice that matters.

🐾 ANIMAL LOVERS

We're a team of animal lovers.

Remote-first means your pets are also our colleagues. We can't wait to meet them.
