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:
