About NexusPulse

Built in Sydney.
Built for Australian Media.

We started NexusPulse because we believed Australian media businesses deserved world-class audience intelligence tools — designed for their content, their audiences, and their privacy obligations.

Our Mission

Helping Australian media thrive in the digital era

The Australian media landscape is one of the most competitive in the world. Newsrooms are stretched thin. Audiences have infinite choice. And the tools that exist were largely built for American audiences, American content, and American data laws.

NexusPulse was founded in 2021 by a team of former media executives, data scientists, and engineers who had felt this problem firsthand. We set out to build the content intelligence platform we always wished existed — one that understands Australian audiences, integrates with Australian CMS systems, and complies with the Australian Privacy Act from day one.

Today, we serve over 500 media organisations across Australia and New Zealand, from independent digital mastheads to national broadcasters, helping them grow their audiences with AI-powered recommendations, automated email marketing, and deep audience analytics.

Our Values

What we stand for

These aren't just words on a wall. Our values shape how we build the product, how we support customers, and how we make decisions every day.

Media First

We build exclusively for media and publishing. We don't serve every industry — we go deep in one. This focus means our product decisions are always grounded in real editorial and publishing challenges.

Privacy by Design

Australian privacy law is not a compliance checkbox for us — it's a design principle. Every feature is built to give readers control of their data and to help our customers meet their obligations under the Privacy Act 1988.

Results That Matter

We measure our success by our customers' success. Every decision we make — from product features to onboarding processes — is evaluated against whether it moves the needle on the metrics that matter to media businesses.

Genuine Partnership

We're not a vendor — we're a partner. Our Customer Success team works closely with editorial and digital teams to ensure NexusPulse is embedded into real workflows and delivering real value every month.

Radical Transparency

We explain how our AI works. We share our data practices openly. We give customers full visibility into what our algorithms are doing and why. Trust is built through transparency, not marketing.

Built for Australia

Australian audiences are unique. Our models are trained on Australian content, our data is hosted in AWS Sydney, and our team understands the local media landscape in a way that offshore platforms simply cannot replicate.
