What Tealium does
Tealium Inc. is a privately held Customer Data Orchestration Platform vendor founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with 14 offices across the United States, EMEA, APAC, the Middle East and Africa, and Oceania, and roughly 501-1,000 employees. Its platform, the Customer Data Hub, combines Tealium iQ (client-side data collection and tag management), EventStream (server-side event streaming with sub-100ms routing), AudienceStream (real-time CDP with cross-channel identity resolution), AIStream (AI-powered data orchestration), CloudStream (zero-copy data cloud activation), Tealium Moments and the Tealium Context API (real-time context APIs including a managed Model Context Protocol server for AI agents), and Consent 2.0 for centralized privacy enforcement. The architecture is reinforced by 1,300+ turnkey integrations across advertising, data clouds, AI services, CRMs, analytics, and consent management platforms, and supports HIPAA, SOC 2 Type I and II, ISO 27001 and 27018, and PDPA-compliant regional deployments.
Tealium serves 850+ enterprise customers globally across verticals including financial services (Legal & General), telecommunications (Vodafone, Spark NZ, HKBN), travel and hospitality (Iberia, Alaska Airlines, Barceló Hotel Group), retail and apparel (TWINSET, New Balance, Golfbreaks), gaming and sports betting (Sportsbet, Rank Group), healthcare (Providence St. Joseph Health), energy (Meridian Energy), automotive dealer groups (Rohrman Automotive Group via CDK Fortellis), and technology (IBM). Named customer outcomes include 54% call-to-lead conversion uplift at Legal & General, 57% abandoned-booking recovery at Iberia, 50% conversion increase at Vodafone, 30% higher ROAS at HKBN, 2X lead conversion at Rohrman Automotive Group, and a reduction of personalization latency from 24 hours to under 300 milliseconds for a global airline. The platform processes 9 billion events per day and exceeded 400 billion customer events for TWINSET during a holiday period, a 23% year-over-year increase.
Tealium operates an enterprise-led go-to-market with direct field sales, a Tealium Partner Network of system integrators and digital agencies, self-guided product demos, and marketplace listings on the Snowflake Marketplace and CDK Fortellis Marketplace. Pricing is positioned as simple, usage-based subscription tied to inbound event volume with no per-seat or per-integration fees, though third-party reviewers characterize it as opaque and quote-based with no free trial. Professional services revenue accompanies enterprise deployments through Customer Support Packages, Tealium Education, and dedicated customer success teams. The company has raised approximately $263.9M in disclosed equity funding across rounds from 2012 through a $96M raise in February 2021 led by Georgian and Silver Lake Waterman, and has been recognized as a two-time consecutive Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Data Platforms (2024 and 2025), with a 2026 mi-3 report indicating the company has since dropped out of the leadership tier.
