Media & Entertainment Research Capabilities
We bring deep expertise in audience research and content evaluation to every project, helping media companies make confident programming, distribution, and marketing decisions.
Content Testing & Development
Evaluating content concepts, pilots, trailers, and programming before major investment. We test TV show concepts, film trailers, podcast pilots, digital content formats, and streaming originals using audience reaction measurement, concept appeal testing, and qualitative exploration of content preferences and viewing motivation.
Audience Measurement & Analytics
Understanding who watches, listens, reads, and engages with your content and why. We design audience measurement studies that go beyond basic demographics to reveal content preferences, media habits, platform usage, genre affinity, and the behavioral and psychographic factors that drive audience engagement and loyalty.
Streaming & Platform Research
Research designed for the streaming era covering subscription decision-making, content discovery, viewing behavior, churn drivers, bundling preferences, and advertising tolerance. We study how audiences navigate the fragmented streaming landscape and the factors that determine which platforms earn their time and money.
Radio & Audio Research
Research for radio stations, podcasts, and audio platforms including format testing, music research, personality evaluation, listening habit studies, and advertising effectiveness measurement. Our audio research capabilities include perceptual studies, programming audits, and audience segmentation for broadcasters and digital audio platforms.
Media Advertising Research
Evaluating advertising effectiveness across media platforms including TV, streaming, radio, digital, social media, and out-of-home. We measure ad recall, brand impact, viewer sentiment, and the relationship between content context and advertising performance to optimize media buying and creative strategy.
Entertainment Brand Research
Building and measuring entertainment brands across content platforms, networks, studios, and talent. We track brand awareness, affinity, and differentiation for media companies competing for audience attention in an increasingly crowded entertainment marketplace.
Research-Driven Content Strategy
In a world where content production costs are rising and audience attention is fragmenting, research provides the intelligence needed to invest in content that resonates. We help media companies reduce risk by testing content concepts, measuring audience engagement, and identifying the formats and themes that drive viewership.
Our bilingual capabilities are particularly valuable for media companies targeting Hispanic audiences, the fastest-growing demographic in U.S. media consumption. We test content in both English and Spanish and study bicultural media habits across acculturation levels.
