What We Do
The Catena Media story began in 2012 and, in the years since, we’ve established ourselves as one of the world’s most successful online lead generation companies focusing on the iGaming and Finance industries, through strong organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
Born from an idea conjured by two like-minded friends with a shared hobby, we’re now a 400+ strong workforce across 8 locations, including Malta, UK, Serbia, Japan, US, Australia, Italy and Sweden. Our people are diverse, creative and innovative, and are complemented by our aligned focus on creating kick ass products and inspiring and supporting great leaders.
You’ll find no dull office cubicles or rigid organisational structures here – we value creativity, passion and collaboration. We want to inspire every member of our team to reach the pinnacle of their potential (while enjoying some industry-leading perks); becoming a Catena Media ambassador along the way.
Modesty aside, our company events are legendary (for all the right reasons), and our new, bespoke Head Office has been designed specifically with employees health and wellbeing in mind, while a team of company chefs muster up fresh delights every day.
We work hard too, of course. In fact, our aim is to transform any industry we decide to be in through the power of choice: focusing on organic growth in combination with geographical expansion and acquisitions to meet our ultimate goal of becoming the world’s number one provider of high-value leads.
