BRANDING IT TO THE CLASSROOM

For over 15 years, Meltwater has specifically been offering business to business solutions- so we thought, why not get this into the “business professionals' ” hands sooner rather than later?

Now students at top schools around the United States are able to use Meltwater, free of charge.

Meltwater will offer training and consultation throughout the course to make sure students get the best use of the software for their coursework and walk away with a great experience. In 2018, students will be able to take quick courses to gain experience and become certified in Meltwater’s suite of media intelligence products.
