We believe that insight into zeitgeist and audience emotions can elevate all stages of the creative and distribution process.
Established in 2021
That’s why we created a first-of-its-kind service that helps creatives and circulation professionals explore the feelings their stories trigger in their future audience. From early writing and development to launch and positioning, we provide inspiration based on the deepest audience emotions.
We don’t give hard conclusions, but an array of structured reflections that you can adapt to your needs. This way, we find a balance between artistic integrity and audience ambitions. PUBLIKUM was created for the film industry, but today we work with audience insights and development for all kinds of creative industries, such as TV, streaming, gaming, theatres, museums, festivals and sports.
Get inspired by your audience as humans, not content consumers.
We use AI to support anthropology – not the other way around
In recent years, AI has gained a foothold in the global film industry. However, most AI platforms primarily focus on automated estimations of a film's eventual success.
We use AI technology differently. Drawing from extensive international film industry experience, we believe AI's true value lies in revealing and predicting human emotions and reactions. That’s why we use AI for anthropological research, helping cultural professionals discover which themes and perspectives resonate most with their audiences. This way, we help them echo the hearts and minds of the audience into their creative projects.
