Our mission is to uncover global market intelligence related to consumer behaviors and preferences at the intersection of brands and entertainment. We conduct original research and large-scale audience studies related to music, TV, film and more.
Read on for an overview of our services—including our flagship recurring studies and quarterly global market surveys—and how to access them.
Luminate Insights offers custom research and consulting as well as access to our syndicated studies and market reports. Our ongoing recurring studies are available via interactive Research Dashboards.
Studies
Insights Studies are comprehensive, regularly-updated analyses that cover entire entertainment categories: music fandom, brand affinity, generational trends, etc. To create these studies, we field large-scale surveys on consumer preferences and fan behavior throughout the year. We publish the data in quarterly, biannual or annual releases; survey results are also available to subscribers via Displayr Dashboards (see below).
Research Dashboards
Studies can be viewed in interactive Research Dashboard format with Displayr, a secure portal for viewing and manipulating data in real time. Dashboard access is available by subscription only. Contact your Luminate representative to subscribe to one or more dashboards.
Consulting
Ask us anything: we’ll leverage our data, research acumen and industry expertise to find the answer or develop the solution. We’ll come back with concrete recommendations, an action plan and final deliverables in the format of your choice. Contact us to learn more.
Intelligence Reports
Luminate Intelligence Reports are focused, topical primers on audiences, demographics and market trends. Our clients and partners often request topics for us to delve into; we publish the resulting reports as we complete them.
We leverage proprietary data and perform original research to answer the entertainment industry’s most pressing questions with our expert analysis. Intelligence Reports on various topics are available in PDF format. Contact us to see available reports or request new topics.
We release syndicated studies throughout the year that flow into our interactive Research Dashboards, all hosted on Displayr. Dashboard subscribers can use Displayr tools to view the data, apply filters and export audience breakouts.
