Meltwater

In 2001, we were two people, a coffee machine and $15,000. Our address was Shack15, an office space that sat in a shipyard in Oslo, Norway.

As the first online media monitoring company, we realized the value of monitoring and analyzing online data. We believed that shaping the world's data into insights would open the door to endless opportunity for impact. We were right.

And just like that, our footprint grew across Scandinavia, the UK, Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific. By 2008, we had feet on the ground—and a growing customer list—on every continent.

But we didn't stop there. We became one of the first companies to offer social listening and social analytics. And over the past five years, we completed eight acquisitions, leveraging AI and data science to give our customers a complete suite of solutions across media, social, consumer and sales intelligence.

Today, we're proud to be Meltwater.

"We harness the world’s data in real time to unlock our customer’s competitive edge."

From this, our mission flows naturally: "We promise to always innovate, provide best-in-class service, and deliver sustainable growth through our technology and our people."

Our values underpin everything that we do—and everything we have done for nearly twenty years. They clearly define who we are, what we stand for, and why we do things for our employees, customers, and external stakeholders. We live our values and are defined by our culture, and despite tremendous changes in our company over time, it’s the ‘North Star’ that will continue to guide us.

As a global company with more than 2,200 employees and 27,000 clients, we have a responsibility to conduct business in a way that has a positive impact on people, the planet and society as a whole. This is part of our commitment to continuous improvement — to consistently re-examine our policies and programs and ensure that we are making strides to create a more sustainable and equitable world.
