All this makes us the world’s leading media engagement company. It’s an amazing app – in fact it’s one of the Top Ten most downloaded iPhone apps of all time, available now on all major app stores and platforms.

We’re the best way to discover, explore, buy, and share music – and, now, we’re also a terrific TV companion app that enhances the viewing experience on the “second screen” – the mobile device. People can use Shazam with shows and ads to access more information and special offers on their favorite products.

Shazam brings together people and entertainment with more than ten million tags a day. Plus, through leading social network sites like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, it’s easy to share your Shazam discoveries.

We are headquartered in London and Menlo Park and have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Seoul.
