Our take

Providing a high-quality digital experience for customers is vital, but for many companies this can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. Optimizely solves this problem by providing tools that optimize customer digital experiences for its clients, operating as a key player in the gargantuan digital experience platform market.

Optimizely was founded in 2010, before being absorbed by content giant Episerver ten years later. Since then, the company’s growth has accelerated significantly, and it has made some impressive partnerships with the likes of Google Cloud. It continues to compete with offerings from big names like PayPal, Salesforce, and Adobe, but its pairing of creation and optimization has allowed it to stand out.

With digital marketing growing ever-more complex, and customer expectations ever-higher, Optimizely current challenge is to keep up with the pace of the evolving space. That said, with its history of leadership in the field, and a fresh injection of talent to its executive team, the company seems well positioned to rise to the occasion.
