Founded by Rob Weisz, the company has a roster of industry veterans and experts, including such luminaries as Will Neale, Lou Harris, Steve George, Anthony Baladi and Marcus Kern.
It launched in Ireland in 2022 and is now the market leader in interactive services there, Weisz tells us that the next 10 years starts with the company adding more more countries, expanding the options around OTT messaging, such as Whatsapp, RCS and beyond, all while embracing the exciting world of alternative payments.
