What METRICOMM LTD does

Metricomm Ltd is a UK-based, privately held media measurement and evaluation company co-founded in 2020 by Mark Westaby (previously founder of Metrica, the world's largest independent media evaluation company), Gareth Jones, and Karen Williams. It sells audience-centric media effectiveness analytics, PR measurement, consultancy, and reporting services to enterprise brands, communications agencies, universities, and charities across the UK. Named customers include BBC Studios, Samsung, Tesla, Cadbury, Aldi, Tesco, Morrisons, Hyundai, Kia, eBay, Danone, Pernod Ricard, TUI, Jet2, SharkNinja, University of Bristol, and Guide Dogs.

The company's core technology is a proprietary algorithm that calculates the likely size of the audience that has found and read online media coverage, using search-based media identification combined with statistical audience estimation techniques aligned with Google's post-cookie recommendations. The platform is informed by academic research and validated at statistical significance levels of 99.9% to 99.999%. Supporting capabilities include AI-driven topic and theme analysis, a seven-key-emotion analytical layer, the trademarked Headline Risk Framework (with B.R.I.D.G.E. assessment), and integrations with independent datasets such as YouGov BrandIndex and Google search data. Product surface spans one-off sector, standard, and issue-based reports, ongoing competitor monitoring (Quantum subscription), the joint YouGov Metricomm University Index, risk management tools, plus consultancy, workshops, and Data Analysis 101 training.

Metricomm generates revenue through a mix of bespoke project-based reports and recurring retained engagements, sold via consultative enterprise sales targeting C-suite communications, marketing, and risk executives, and increasingly via GTM partnerships with YouGov and Presspage. Pricing is flexible and not publicly disclosed, with engagements tailored to client requirements and delivered on multi-year or project bases. The company is bootstrapped with no external funding rounds disclosed, operates with 1-10 employees, and focuses exclusively on the UK market.
