History

The company was founded in 1999 by Tink Taylor and Simon Bird as Ellipsis Media, a web design agency based in Croydon, United Kingdom.[8] Its mail provider was launched in 2002, built especially for the BBC.

In 2008 dotmailer became a PLUS market listed PLC, opened its first Manchester office and was included in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500.

The company was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2009. In that year it also opened its third office in Edinburgh, introduced share options for staff and was the recipient of a National Business Award.[9]

In 2010 dotmailer opened offices in Belarus and London. The company was then AIM listed in 2011, and the platform was translated into eight languages – English UK, English US, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian.

In 2012 the company employed about 100 people, and served about 3,000 customers. In 2013 an office was opened in New York, and dotmailer was nominated in the European Business Awards.

By 2014, the company had grown to a market capitalization of £100m. An office was opened in London Bridge. Also in 2014, dotmailer was noted as one of the three top mailer services in G2 Crowd’s crowdsourced business software ratings.[10]
