The study analyzed more than 1.4 billion words, compared 600 brands, and is AI-powered. While the study’s findings may be helpful to brands, it’s also particularly interesting to see which brands are leveraging the science of emotion.
“We are thrilled to share the next generation of the Brand Intimacy study,” said Mario Natarelli, managing partner, MBLM. “Leveraging big data and artificial intelligence takes the emotional science behind brand performance to the next level. This new methodology gives us broader and more real-time insights. We are now able to assess more authentic and vivid sentiment from consumers.”
He continued: “Media and entertainment brands continue to thrive, likely boosted by the need of providing escape, comfort, and instant gratification. Disney’s rise to the top displays the resilience of the media and entertainment industry in unprecedented times. The brand has demonstrated its ability to continue to resonate with consumers, and form deep intimate connections and relationships, even in a fragmented media landscape.”
