Summary
Brandwatch
business social-listening uk
BRANDWATCH-AS is operated by Runtime Collective Limited, the corporate entity behind the social media listening and analytics platform Brandwatch.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
UK-BRANDWATCH-20130426for both announced IPv4 prefixes, indicating a dedicated corporate estate for the company's infrastructure. - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 82 observed neighbours; this high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit-heavy role for a corporate network rather than an access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of web and API endpoints for Brandwatch's social listening services, which process large volumes of public social media data for enterprise clients.
Notable
- Registrants for both IPv4 prefixes are listed as Runtime Collective Limited, aligning directly with the AS holder and the PeeringDB identity.
- Runtime Collective Limited is the registered company name for Brandwatch, reflecting the corporate structure of the social analytics firm.
- The inventory consists of two contiguous /23 blocks in the 185.25.0.0/16 range and a single /32 IPv6 prefix, representing a compact and finely subdivided corporate address space.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
