Meltwater has always focused on hiring based on leadership potential. This is a strategy that has helped develop a majority of our global managers through our International Management Trainee program. As the late Steve Jobs once said, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” So Meltwater is once again challenging students across Asia to show just how innovative they can be in the second annual Meltwater Movers & Shapers Competition (MMSC).
This contest is designed to empower the potential of young people across Asia encouraging them to show drive and passion in presenting their ideas. The contest asks students to identify a…
Last week we launched Meltwater Buzz Engage, a new engagement module in our Meltwater Buzz platform that makes social conversations actionable and measurable. To coincide with the launch, Meltwater hosted a number of “Buzz Ups” – our version of the Tweet Up.
Meltwater Buzz offices throughout the globe (literally – NYC, Boston, San Francisco, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Sydney and Singapore) hosted Buzz Ups at local bars and venues and invited clients, social media influencers, industry colleagues and regular ol’ friends to get together, engage with one another and enjoy a drink.
Overall, the events were a great success for us. Not only did it…

To read more about the event and to watch some of the debate,…
Last fall, Meltwater launched a student competition across Asia to give students around the region a chance to show just how creative they can be. They were tasked with identifying a creative solution to an everyday problem, and we received some very creative ideas ranging from ways to remove trash from our beaches to efficient ways to cut down queues. Thanks to help in promoting the contest by student groups such as AIESEC, SIFE and NES and institutions like NUS and HKU to name a few, we received entries from over 150 applicants! After several rounds of heated internal debate and review, we shortlisted…
Earlier this week my colleague and I had the opportunity to attend The Churchill Club’s 13th Annual Top 10 Tech Trends event in Santa Clara. Although many of the predicted tech trends didn’t apply directly to Meltwater’s industry, I was surprised that so many of them (if realized) could affect us very profoundly. The event also provided insight on the future possibilities for the software industry.
The event was moderated by Tony Perkins, founder of The Churchill Club, and consisted of a “trend presenter”, Curt Carlson, President and CEO of SRI International, and four leading industry panelists – Steve Jurvetson, Paul Saffo, Ajay…
