Company profile
researched Aug 2026Memo, operating as Memorandum, Inc., provides a data platform for communications and public relations measurement. Its core offering reports article-level readership — unique visitors and article traffic numbers for press coverage — obtained directly from publications, allowing comms teams to see how many people actually read coverage about their brand rather than relying on impressions or mention counts.
Beyond readership reporting, the platform surfaces which stories, outlets, reporters and topics drive traffic to a company's narrative, supports media strategy and pitching decisions, and is positioned for use during crises to distinguish damaging news cycles from short-lived ones. A companion product, Reporter Intelligence, is a reporter database built on readership data, used to build media lists reflecting up-to-date readership trends and to identify reporters attracting readers for specific narratives.
Business model
Memo sells a software platform to corporate communications and PR teams, with prospective customers directed to book a demo and contact sales. The company also frames its readership data as demonstrating the value of earned media to publishers, who supply the underlying article-level data.
Traction
Brands including Walmart, Samsung, Google, Taylor Made and MLB are cited as customers, and the company reported 29 employees on its Built In NYC profile.
