How we read the signals

Who the tastemakers follow. And who everyone searches.

Two early signals: when influential people start following someone, and when search interest starts to rise. Together they show who is about to break.

  • Follow signals: who the top 100,000 influencers follow, month by month
  • Channel signals: Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok
  • Search signals: rising search interest, the strongest sign of real demand

What slows you down

Scouting by gut and playlists

Too late

When a name is on every playlist, the deal is expensive.

One channel at a time

Spotify, TikTok and YouTube are checked separately.

No search view

Streams show listening, search shows demand.

No alerts

Someone has to look every day.

Start small

Start with a Proof Case

Your genre or sport, one market, a watchlist of rising names with alerts for one season. A fixed scope and a fixed price, presented to the people who decide, and credited against the Annual fee if you continue.

The window between rising and booked is short. Be first.

Questions

Before you ask

Which sources?

Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and search, plus the follow network of the top 100,000 influencers.

Can we set alerts?

Yes, per talent and per metric, for example when monthly listeners or search interest cross a threshold.

Where does the data come from?

From AI-based analysis of aggregated digital behaviour signals, not surveys: what people search, follow, watch and listen to, aggregated and anonymous. No panels and no questionnaires.

Is this personal data?

No. We work with aggregated signals only: no names, no e-mail addresses, no individual profiles.

Know your audience.
Act before others do.
