Über uns

We’re building a world where communicating with a business is as easy and natural as talking to a friend.

MessageBird powers communication between businesses and their customers — across any channel, always with the right context, and on every corner of the planet. If you’ve ever ordered takeaway, returned a package, contacted customer service or requested a login code, it’s almost guaranteed your interactions have been powered by MessageBird’s technology.

Our products, tools and omnichannel solutions are building blocks that help businesses streamline conversations through their customers’ preferred channels — like SMS, Voice, WhatsApp, WeChat, Messenger, Email and more. This versatility gives end consumers instant, safe and secure access to information they need. It also means they can spend less time on hold, avoid repeating stories to multiple agents, and get more time to do what they love.

Headquartered in Amsterdam, MessageBird’s global business reaches billions of devices, serves over 20,000 customers and operates across nine hubs. Since 2011, we have grown to a powerhouse team of 500 employees who represent more than 55 nationalities, and we’re proud to be a “Work Anywhere” company.

How we work: Our Culture

These six pillars are the essence of who we are and how we like to do things:

We’re customer geeks

We move at 200 miles an hour and “get shit done”

Roll up your sleeves and take a look under the hood

We talk to each other like we talk to our friends

We’re all owners

Ignore the noise, stay laser focused on the job

Curious to learn more? We’ve created a Culture Doc that provides a clear, candid and authentic explanation of how we work at MessageBird. Articulating our “culture” in words has been exciting, challenging and — to be honest — a little bit scary. We’ve included ALL the details, because we want to empower you to decide if MessageBird is the right fit for you. If you read this and think, “Sign me up!” then we hope you #jointhenest.
