Our mission is to help customers grow valuable media brands with their content. Join our diverse group of focused, hardworking professionals who are passionate about doing work that’s challenging and fun — and who strive to maintain a healthy work/life balance.
Chartbeat’s intuitive and powerful software has long empowered media brands to use their own data to build loyal audiences across desktop, social, and mobile platforms. With easy-to-use real-time and historical analytics, in-page optimization and testing tools, and unique insights into audience engagement, Chartbeat’s products bring value to editorial, product, and business teams. Earlier this year, Chartbeat joined forces with Tubular, the leader in global social video intelligence and measurement. Tubular provides a unified view of the shifting values and interests of audiences across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, and more. Together, we’re expanding the ecosystem of insights we provide to enterprise content creators who are developing audiences and revenue streams across channels. By joining two comprehensive network-level datasets, we’ll help our partners understand and measure a larger proportion of audience interactions and, in turn, make smarter decisions that grow reach and revenue. We now serve more than 1,000 brands globally, including influential content publishers like The New York Times, the BBC, ESPN, Gannett, Vox, BuzzFeed, Paramount, WB, Mediahuis, Hearst, McClatchy, and GQ.
