What Notified does

Notified is a global communications technology provider that operates two integrated platform suites — Content OS for Public Relations and IR Hub for Investor Relations — built on the GlobeNewswire newswire distribution backbone. The PR suite combines press release distribution across 150+ countries in 35+ languages with an AI-powered media contacts database (170,000+ monitored news sites, 1,000+ targeted newslines), social listening, media insights, and an AI Press Release Optimizer guided by the proprietary SOAR Content Framework, while the IR suite delivers earnings events and webcasts, accessible IR websites (2,573+ currently managed), regulatory filings across EDGAR, SEDAR and 17 European jurisdictions, a SOX-compliant whistleblower hotline, and an AI-driven Market Intelligence module with conversational IR Assistant. Both suites share GlobeNewswire as the common distribution layer and are unified under a single login, marketed as the only platform dedicated to both PR and IR professionals with fully integrated workflows.

The company serves more than 10,000 customers globally, anchored by enterprise adoption — over 50% of the S&P 500 trust Notified solutions and 30-50% of the Fortune 100 — alongside mid-market and SMB segments that self-serve through the GlobeNewswire portal. Named enterprise customers span Zoom, Nvidia, Hershey, Deloitte, Navient, Lufthansa, Fraport, White Mountains Insurance, and Progress Software, while Nasdaq serves as the exclusive IR communications technology partner for new listings on Nasdaq Global and Global Select Markets under a 5-year renewal announced February 2026. GlobeNewswire additionally holds FCA-approved primary information provider status in the UK, CLEAR Verified identity verification (US/Canada), SOC 2 Type II and WCAG 2.1 AA certifications, and data integrations with Bloomberg Terminal and LexisNexis.

Notified is headquartered in Malmö, Sweden with a US legal entity (Digital Media Innovations, LLC) in Omaha, Nebraska, and additional operational offices in London, Nürnberg, Frankfurt (opened April 2026), Paris (including a production TV studio), and APAC inside-sales coverage in Australia, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Revenue is generated through enterprise subscription pricing for the integrated PR/IR platform (third-party benchmarking indicates $26,400+/year starting tier for comparable capabilities), GlobeNewswire self-service distribution fees, high-touch professional services including editorial and event/webcast production, and dedicated Customer Experience Managers for eligible accounts. Notified was acquired by Equiniti Group Limited (EQ) in May 2025 and operates as EQ's "market engagement business" affiliate, with prior acquisitions of Twintip Insights (November 2016) and Lissly (May 2017) in its history.
