Nearly every entertainment brand uses social media to promote shows and other offerings, but some also use it to create top-notch customer experiences. Media brands are bringing the content and artists that followers love to the digital platforms of their choosing. They’re nurturing an audience of followers, and addressing customer needs across all social platforms.
To identify the brands doing it well, we put together an analysis powered by the world’s most comprehensive source of social media brand information, the Sprinklr Business Index (SBI), which measures and analyzes public interactions between brands and consumers across social media.

OverviewThe SBI provides an in-depth, innovative understanding of how brands are managing digital disruption, and which brands are creating the most value for their customers through social. It compares the social performance of 35,000 different brands, drawn from over 20 channels, and explores performance trends with data dating back to 2012.
SBI MeasurementsCare Insights This ranking is calculated as a combination of the percent of messages that a brand has responded to (adjusted for number of followers), and how long it took to respond. Brands that respond quickly to a high proportion of messages from customers perform well in terms of care.
Audience The SBI calculates audience performance as a combination of number of followers, brand mentions from those followers, and reach rate of content – which accounts for how many people a brand can realistically engage with. Brands that have a large audience and receive a substantial amount of mentions perform well in terms of audience.
Content Insights The Content Insights score is determined by measuring likes, comments, and shares of content, as well as the frequency with which a brand is publishing. Successful brands are those which often share content that is well received by their audience and drives substantial engagement relative to competing brands.
SBI explainedMethodologyFor this study, we pulled data on April 24, 2017, accounting for the previous 30 days’ worth of social activity. The top performers were compared with a total of 144 entertainment brands in SBI.
GlossaryEngagements Engagement is a common metric that combines post likes, post comments, and post shares.
Post Reach This is a Sprinklr common metric that is the estimated number of users that have seen a post over the lifetime of the post.
Using SBI, we analyzed the performance
of entertainment brands

Compared to the other top brands, PlayStation has by far the highest follower count. The sheer volume of followers helps explain why it’s at the top of the industry in terms of overall social performance.
Its average response time is three minutes, which is the fastest among the top five brands in the industry, but the brand’s low response rate negatively affects the overall brand score.

While having a large audience, publishing great content, and providing customer service across platforms are all important components of social success, dominating one of these categories alone is not enough.
Each brand has different strengths on social, and there’s variation among the brands in terms of highest performing platforms and content types. For instance, Funny Or Die sees most of its engagement on Facebook, where
Disneyland sees most of its engagement on Instagram. Nearly all of Disneyland’s engagement across the platforms is through photo, but for PlayStation, photo and video are nearly equal as the best performing content types.
Understanding where the sweet spots are will allow brands to strategize accordingly, give customers what they want, and ultimately drive engagement and audience growth.
