Tamtam tracks 167 media companies and publishers headquartered in Brazil. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by USP - Universidade de São Paulo, İ‣G‣L - İzmir Global Logistik EOOD and Grupo Televisa. Their median headcount is 1,850. Half of them were founded in 1965 or later. The most common headquarters are São Paulo (24), Rio de Janeiro (4) and Brasília (3).

These companies represent a cross-section of large organizations in Brazil, with a strong presence in media, education, and government. Notable examples include USP - Universidade de São Paulo, a higher education institution with 23,205 employees, and İ‣G‣L - İzmir Global Logistik EOOD, which creates TV channels and digital products.

The data reveals a concentration of these larger entities in São Paulo, which hosts several major players across different sectors. Additionally, legislative bodies like the Câmara dos Deputados and Senado Federal, both founded in 1826 and headquartered in Brasília, indicate a long-standing governmental presence among the largest employers.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
