Let us introduce you to Pulse.

How is Pulse different?

Unlike ‘traditional’ social listening approaches which begin with hypothesising what trends people might be talking about, Pulse’s methodology is built from the bottom-up.

It uses a unique taxonomy of over 350,000 cultural trend entities – brands, sports, movies, artists, movements, organisations and more – combined with a network science approach to understand how these entities are naturally clustering together in conversation.

The result is the most comprehensive analysis of broad themes and trends in social conversation, giving brands a fast, accurate read of how the nation is talking and responding to COVID-19.

Who is Pulse designed for?

Pulse provides Marketing and Consumer Research teams with a regular cadence of trend intelligence that helps them stay informed and track the effects of COVID-19.  More specifically:

• Pulse of the nation – what’s important and driving conversation right now?

• Brand Positioning – how should I position brand values in light of COVID-19?
      
• Communication and Activation planning – how, when, and where should my brand engage in conversation?
