Our take
Moveable has been at the forefront of personalised marketing since 2010. It pioneered the technology behind contextual email marketing, helping brands show content that actually mattered to each customer in real time. From its early days, the company has focused on making every customer interaction smarter and more engaging.
Over the years, Movable Ink has grown beyond email., embracing AI and automation to take personalization to the next level. Its products, including Studio and the Da Vinci AI orchestration engine, let brands create experiences that scale while still feeling personal. And with its Autonomous Marketing capabilities, the company is helping marketers work smarter, while gaining deeper insights and driving measurable results across every touchpoint.
In 2025, Movable Ink announced it would be acquired by STG, a US-based private equity firm. This move is a vote of confidence in the company's vision and mission, giving it the backing to expand its AI-driven platform even further.
