Our Mission
Join us in shaping the future of paid search intelligence.
Adthena is an award-winning search intelligence platform powered by patented AI technology and a team of dedicated experts. We help brands, marketers, and agencies dominate their competitive landscapes with unparalleled insights into the paid search market. Our Whole Market View, Smart Monitor, and Local View solutions give clients the clarity to optimize spend, increase ROI, and stay ahead of the competition.
Trusted by global brands like Citibank, L’Oréal, and Volvo, and backed by Updata Partners, we’ve been redefining search intelligence since 2012.
In 2025, Adthena continued its winning streak, earning 8 major search industry awards. Highlights include Best AI Search Software Solution at the US Search Awards, Best Search Software Tool at the European Search Awards, and Best Software Innovation at the Global Search Awards.
Ready to make an impact in an industry-leading company? Let’s do it together.
Why Join Us?
We offer the best of both worlds: the maturity and stability of a well-established company combined with the energy, agility, and impact of a scaling tech organisation. If you’ve been hesitant about joining a typical tech company due to concerns about chaos, fragility, or volatility, Adthena is your answer.
We’re beyond early-stage chaos, offering stability.
We’re smaller than large-scale enterprises, offering more autonomy, less red tape, and accelerated growth.
