Challenge

The brand faced a formidable challenge in monitoring and analyzing the effectiveness of promotions undertaken by influencers. With influencers often streaming games for a long duration, ranging from 6 to 24 hours or more, manually reviewing and extracting insights from these videos became an arduous and time-consuming task.

Approach and solution

In response to this energy drink brand’s video analytics challenge, Netscribes devised a comprehensive methodology employing cutting-edge techniques:

• Custom deep learning model: Our team developed a bespoke deep learning model specifically for object detection within video frames. The model efficiently identifies the logo placement of the energy drink product, detects instances of active promotion (such as influencers consuming the energy drink), and gauges the duration of such active promotion.
• Data scrutiny: A systematic approach was adopted to scrape and scrutinize data from all influencer posts. This involved parsing through keywords to identify and confirm instances of product promotion.
• Effectiveness scoring: Leveraging the insights gained from logo detection, active promotion in streaming videos, and social media posts, a scoring system was implemented. This score serves as a quantifiable measure of the effectiveness of the promotion for each influencer.
• Insight generation: On a weekly basis, comprehensive insights are generated, highlighting the effectiveness of promotions.  This enables the client to make informed decisions and refine their influencer marketing strategy.

Results delivered

The implementation of Netscribes’ video analytics solution has yielded substantial benefits for the US energy drink brand:

• Efficient data processing: Over 3000 social media posts scraped and analyzed on a weekly basis, providing a robust dataset for evaluation.
• Video analysis: With more than 5000 hours of video data analyzed monthly, the client gains a detailed understanding of how influencers promote the energy drink during gaming sessions.
• Time and resource savings: The integration of the deep learning model has resulted in approximately 3200 man-hours saved per month. This time efficiency allows the firm to redirect resources towards more strategic endeavors.
