ABOUT US

Research and consulting company focused on how people actually consume content.

We study human psychology, behavior, and neuroscience to understand what keeps people watching, what loses attention, and what makes content feel satisfying to the viewer. Based on that, we build strategies that help content reach a wider audience and hold attention for longer.

Q&A

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.

  • How long does a typical engagement run?+

    Most consulting engagements run 3–6 months. In-house strategy placements are open-ended and reviewed quarterly.

  • Do you work with channels under 100k subscribers?+

    We do, when there's a clear thesis for growth. Most of our clients are between 100k and 30M, but the bottleneck is the work, not the size.
