Stream was started in 2013 by two visionaries, Elger Welch and Antoine Sabourin, to deliver real-time media monitoring and analysis. However, the platform was introduced to people in 2014. As at its inception, the early-stage customers were using Streem as a desktop and mobile platform. This marked the beginning of Streem’s influence on driving innovation in the media intelligence sector.

In 2015, Streem became the first media monitor to introduce real-time Television and Radio-tracking. This move allowed the customers to see their media mentions as they went on air. Later that year, Streem made another milestone by introducing real-time audience data and analysis to the platform. Audience data analysis gave the customers live insight into the impact of media coverage.

In 2014 and 2015, Streem audience was for individual customers in Australia. However, Streem started to take root, and in 2016, it had reached both corporate and government media teams. Besides, industries such as education, advocacy, law firms, and transport bought into Streem. In mid-2016, the customers were now able to stream radio alerts within minutes of the broadcast.
