Industry Expertise

Built by experts. Driven by fans.

We believe social reporting is most powerful when it’s led by people who live the culture, not just read the data. That’s why our analysts aren’t generalists; they’re specialists. Each industry speaks its own language and moves at its own pace, so we build teams with deep, relevant expertise to match.

Our team includes former brand strategists, agency partners, and media pros with deep knowledge of the industries they cover. So when you work with us, you’re not just getting a report — you’re getting insight from someone who gets it.

The Categories We Know Best:

Music

From album rollouts to viral snippet strategy, we know how artists, labels, and platforms use social to build fanbases — and how to measure what actually hits.

Video Games

Gaming isn’t just content — it’s community. Our team speaks the language of launch windows, esports, and in-game activations, with the data to back what’s landing (and what’s lagging).

We’ve worked with the biggest studios and streamers to benchmark trailer drops, track talent buzz, and unpack what drives tune-in. If it trends, we saw it coming.
