What we do

Our recommendation engine pairs our users’ taste preferences with book, TV, and movie recommendations based on who they are and what they really want, not just what's popular.

We collect this audience preference data in culturally safe and anonymized ways to help provide key insights to book, movie, and TV content producers about what these audiences are seeking.

We offer forward-looking insights

We know that when people join streaming platforms, they’re recommended content similar to what they’ve watched before. When they search for or buy a book, they’ll be served similar titles

This is useful, however, the data it offers is “backwards-looking”. It only tells us what people might be interested in based on what they’ve already seen. Not what they actually want.

Narrative Muse offers forward-looking insights. Our platform gathers data on audiences’ preferences – they tell us what content they’d like to read or watch, even if they’ve never been able to find it before.

Our forward-looking insights have the possibility to understand audience desires and trends in a whole new way.

It also means that together we can make an impact – when under-served audiences tell us what they want, you can tap into that data to give them what they’re seeking.

Learn what moves and motivates your audience – data that goes beyond demographics

How do you know what will resonate with your intended audience? Great content doesn't just entertain, it moves, educates and motivates people.

Demographics only tell part of the story. Narrative Muse audience insights go beyond demographics to help you understand what satisfies and motivates your ideal audience.

We provide data on audience preferences, interests, tastes, and demand. These insights can combine with specific demographics to understand niche audiences and unlock valuable insights that can improve your content – or help drive awareness.

Narrative Muse insights allow you to develop strategies to create valuable content that connects with your audience.

  • Understand audiences by appetite: What do audiences want to consume and why?
  • Use data to understand shared interest, affinities, interests, tastes and demand demographics.
  • Understand niche and non-mainstream audiences, or discover hidden audiences.

Audiences want new content and more of it

The demand for diverse and inclusive content is growing. Audiences want new content, and more of it.

Narrative Muse helps you tap into this demand by providing pre-acquisition insights that tell you what content will attract which audiences and where the revenue potential lies.

We also provide in-production information on your target audiences and how to reach them with content.

Our insights on customer acquisition, marketing success, and content performance give you access to key data during your release and beyond for maximum success.

We put information safety first

We understand the importance of keeping user information safe.

We are committed to ongoing understanding of the issues so we can offer the safest possible product.

The support and leadership of team members from marginalized backgrounds is instrumental in our understanding of how collecting information about people’s preferences and identities could have unintentional consequences.

We operate a system that keeps personal information separate from preference data and both are stored on different, secure servers.

This is a physical layer of separation between personally identifiable information and points that are used to make recommendations and create non-personal insights for content creators.

This means that user preferences are completely anonymous and user personal information is always protected.
