Draft:Mentionlytics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mentionlytics is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that provides an online brand monitoring platform. The platform collects and analyzes mentions from various sources, including social media channels such as Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and web sources like review sites, blogs, forums, and more..[1]

The company operates from London, United Kingdom[2], and Crete, Greece, serving a global customer base.[3]

History

[edit]

Mentionlytics was co-founded in 2016 by Manos Perakakis[4], John Kopanakis, and George Mastorakis[5]. The idea for the platform originated in 2015 when Perakakis attempted to track the online reach of a press release. Initially, Mentionlytics focused on web monitoring but expanded to include social media due to the increasing importance of social platforms in marketing and public relations.

The platform officially launched in 2016[6], offering features such as social media and web monitoring, sentiment analysis, Share of Voice, and keyword tracking. In its early stages, Mentionlytics participated in the Microsoft for Startups program.[7]
