My goal was to create a partnership that generates awareness and a buzz about Meltwater at the university. The purpose is to of course market us and let driven students know that we are looking to hire talented, ambitious graduates.
FocusOn is…

It was an October night in 2008, and as the plane began descending, I pressed my face against the window to get an aerial look at the city I would now call home. I took in the sight of Toronto, “The New York City of Canada,” they all told me when I announced I was moving. Now, dear reader, please keep in mind that I was in fact moving from the great island of Manhattan.

Yesterday evening Meltwater hosted the Meltwater Mashup, a social media meetup where experts from VentureBeat, PRSA, Bulldog Reporter and Tweetshare examined the integration of social media in Marketing and PR. Guests also had the chance to demo Meltwater Buzz, our social media monitoring product. It was a casual evening of drinking, chatting, and enjoying the gourmet delicacies offered by a taco truck.
Mashup guests mixed and mingled with social media and PR professionals from all over the Bay Area, including representatives from Linden Lab, Hill & Knowlton, Fleishman Hillard, StudioGood and eHealth, amongst others. One lucky winner won an iPad just for showing up!

In April this year Meltwater sponsored the German AIESEC National Kick-Off Conference in Bielefeld, Germany.

A friend from university recently came up to me at a recruitment event and said, “Samantha, of all the people I knew at Brandeis, you are the last person I would see doing this. I mean the company looks cool and everything, but sales?”
Resisting the urge to launch into a lengthy lecture on all the reasons I love my job, I put myself in his shoes and admitted that three years ago I probably wouldn’t have seen myself in sales either.
I was your typical Brandeis overachiever, juggling two majors and a minor with countless internships, managing my school’s newspaper in my free…
