Culture

Culture

Built Different.
Together.

Founded in 2008, Samba was built on the belief that media could be understood, not just consumed. We're founder-led with startup intensity and enterprise impact. Teams span San Francisco, London, Hamburg, Sydney, and beyond. We ship product that touches billions of signals daily — with a culture that values ownership over hierarchy and outcomes over optics.
