Why This Matters

This report provides you with a rapid, accurate view of the market, and key diagnostics which enable you to drive better market performance.

Narrative > Emotional Response

How Does The Market Feel?

Affect is a rich measure of the emotional tone of the significant content. Understanding of the emotional drivers empower you to better understand, and respond appropriately to, the emotional impact of the narrative.

In this chart, positive emotions are highlighted in green, whereas negative emotions are red.

If there is a clear tonality to the emotions expressed, such as expectation or apprehension, these are shown in purple.

The intensity of the colour indicates the intensity of each emotion.

The width of each arc reflects the degree to which the named emotion contributes to the overall emotional response.

Broad emotions, such as fear and love, are closer to the centre of the chart. The more subtle emotions, which contribute to those broad emotions, are shown in the concentric rings further out. Moving out from the centre, each ring shows a further level of detail.

Narrative > Topics & Themes > Relationships

What Are The Key Topics?
What Are Their Relationships?

This matrix shows the topics which are driving emotional engagement, and the tone of the associations between them.

RED indicates a negative association, GREEN a positive one. WHITE means a neutral connection, and BLUE, an association driven by anticipation and expectation.

This matrix gives you an 'at-a-glance' view of the overall complexity, engagement, and tone of the narrative. It also makes clear any cross-cutting concerns which lie at the centre of the narrative.

Narrative > Media > Power

Which Media Drives This Category?

This index ranks media voices according to their power to lead debate and shape perception, and drive market performance in terms of preference and desirability.

This is not a volumetric measure: often, the most popular media are not the ones with the strongest impact on topical or social engagement.

Outlook > Affect > Orientation

What's the Emotional Centre of the Narrative?

Affect Orientation is a measure of the degree to which the narrative stimulates an emotional response: active or passive, positive or negative. Most narratives are simply neutral, and do not provoke any emotional response.

Narratives such as this, which are driven by an active, negative engagement, will polarise opinion. Although they have the power to grow, to maximise long-term power, they must transform from destructive and oppositional, to positive and creative.

Narrative > Content > Exploration

What Does The Most Powerful Content Look Like?

Outlook > Engagement > Classification

What is the Nature of this Narrative?

Understanding of the structure of the narrative, offers orientation on the long-term value of engagement, and the manner in which to engage, to achieve Communication Power.

The vast majority of narratives, campaigns or brands are - like this one - Transient. Such narratives will fall away without investment of time or resources.

These are poor choices for the positioning of brands or themes for communications. As issues, they are not expected to persist or grow.

Strategically, such narratives are often easy to 'own', but they must be driven, or connected to greater relevance and/or differentiation, to have long-term value.

How Efficient is Existing Content?

The narrative's content lacks focus. Existing content does a poor job of giving it definition.

Whilst there is genuine opportunity for new approaches to content, it may be difficult for new content to stimulate engagement.
