About the Media Barometer

Leveraging contextual intelligence from direct relationships with 3,000+ content partners, Teads Media Barometer enables brands to identify key moments of heightened consumer engagement, empowering them to own the moment, the screen, and the audience, at the right time for your business.

The Media Barometer's ability to demonstrate consumer behaviour allows for more accurate planning based upon key behaviours. You can:

  • Understand seasonality based upon popular cultural or commercial moments. For example; looking up the trends from Black Friday or Christmas in the previous year.

  • Learn about consumer demographics from specific moments in time. For example; what were the consumer demographics for readers of the Olympics in France or the Super Bowl in the United States.

  • Understand where people were reading about a particular topic. For example; what are the top indexing contextual topics for people reading about "New Year's Eve" in Spain or "US Election" in the United States?
