Graphika delivers actionable intelligence and data insights to support and empower media & entertainment organizations.
Trust & Safety
Gaming and entertainment platforms provide unmatched opportunities for fan engagement and interaction, but ensuring that users, especially children, have a safe and positive experience is no small task. Graphika's analytical tools and custom solutions provide confidence for clients, and protect the trust and safety of their users.
Detection of Potential Geopolitical Issues, Coordinated Harassment, and Incitement of Violence
Social media is a digital gathering space with real world risks and opportunities that often play out within artist and media fandoms. Our machine learning and AI detect the key signals of an event or controversy in near-real-time, to mitigate risks before it’s too late.
Mis- and Disinformation Detection, Analysis & Monitoring
Media & Entertainment entities (studio, network, news, music) now face unprecedented existential risks. Graphika has been on the front lines of the war on trust for years, providing actionable intelligence and data to empower our clients to understand these critical challenges, make rapid strategic decisions, and predict future events.
Crisis Response
Rapid, strategic response during a communications crisis can make or break a reputation. We arm clients to make rapid strategic decisions about how to best address their audience during a crisis to counteract adversarial narratives, disinformation, media entity & artist boycotts, and conspiratorial conversations.
Target Audience Discovery & Trend Monitoring
Graphika’s fine-grained analysis engine provides deep segmentation of the key audience around virtually any topic. We empower brands to improve their messaging and reach within their existing audience, as well as reveal key topics of interest that facilitate growth into new communities.
Campaign Optimization & Impact Measurement
We help uncover relevant and meaningful conversations that take place in the online communities that matter most. We help media entities understand who is talking about them, identify white space where influence can be expanded, and optimize content targeting and messaging to ensure maximum impact.
Influencer Discovery & Audit
Influencer analysis measurements are often polluted by irrelevant and inflated metrics. Graphika helps to cut through the noise to choose and audit influencers with true and meaningful reach against your target audiences. Brands are grateful for budget well spent, and true reach realized in their influencers program.
