Detailed Review
Retriever runs separate country sites for Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Its core product, Monitor, watches mentions in all media, Research searches historical news, and Media Insights shows mentions on a dashboard.
The Swedish site names Retriever Sverige AB, organisation number 556586-1571, at Karlavägen 31 in Stockholm, and the Danish site names Retriever Danmark A/S, CVR 26937698, at Pilestræde 58 in Copenhagen.
Monitoring and Research
Monitor covers mentions across media, and Research gives access to historic news for longer analysis. The vendor offers an app that notifies you when new mentions appear and describes using AI to improve its monitoring.
Social Media Tools
Social listening watches and analyses performance on social platforms. A second line covers social media management with engage, publish and measure functions, so a team can listen and respond in one vendor.
Business Information in Sweden
On the Swedish site Retriever also sells business information, with company, person and property data and a search across Swedish annual reports. This is outside PR but may matter if the same team buys both.
Limitations to Consider
The pages checked are in Swedish and Danish, and an English version of the product pages could not be opened, so non-Nordic teams should confirm language support. No prices are published. The coverage is Nordic, and the tool does not distribute press releases or manage journalists, so combine it with Mynewsdesk or Prezly for outreach.
Who Should Use Retriever
Communications and marketing teams in the Nordic countries that need monitoring of local media with archive search and dashboards.
