Salary benchmarks

Our take

Meltwater's software analyzes and provides insights on posts across all major social media platforms, blogs, and news sites, allowing companies to make more informed marketing and operational decisions.

Launched in Norway in 2001 and later moving its headquarters to San Francisco, Meltwater has become a leading player in the media monitoring industry. It is an industry that is expected to double in value as the volume of data grows, making it increasingly challenging to derive meaningful insights.

Over the past two decades, Meltwater's growth has been fueled by strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, enhancing its technology stack. Since going public in early 2021, and with major clients like Google, Ogilvy, The Economist, and Santander, Meltwater is poised to expand its operations beyond the 150 countries it currently serves.
