Any digital-first publisher or brand knows how vital data-driven insights are to their programming and audience development strategies. Long gone are the days when a video creator could spot an obvious opportunity in the market and create quick and easy content that would fill that gap and give the social video audience what they wanted.
But times have changed. The video content strategist faces intense competition to create engaging content in a huge range of genres and verticals, and across a multitude of social video platforms. Savvy publishers and hungry brands are fighting for the same share of voice in a bid to win over eyeballs, minds, and dollars. And those creators all face the same issues: how to easily identify the types of videos that succeed, and how to find growth opportunities within digital video.
For video strategists and programming directors tasked with creating content and growing their audience, Tubular Labs has long been the leading video data platform that creates confidence in the daily video decisions you make. We’re excited to introduce Performance Insights, a new reporting functionality that is designed specifically to simplify and enhance your video content analysis workflow.

Beauty Video Content: Stellar Insights in Less than 20 Seconds!
Let’s take a look at the metrics around video duration and beauty video uploads to YouTube in the past 30 days. Using the dropdowns, you can toggle between many content characteristics such as creator type, video duration, top properties and many more in order to compare various performance metrics along those dimensions. We wanted to focus on optimum duration, so selected that particular metric.
Performance Insights allows you to quickly (the above example was generated in less than 20 seconds) to sort the results by various success metrics, giving you a wealth of instant information. If we sort Top Beauty Creators on YouTube, defined by engagements, we can confirm that Protex Brasil has the highest average views in the first 30 days (V30) after uploading content to the platform.
This kind of data driven insight can help you find partners with the right fit for your company, or showcase your own success in various dimensions. Using Performance Insights, programming directors creating content around beauty can find the hottest influencers to work with in a matter of seconds! And what’s more, you can instantaneously sort the results by different success metrics with one click.
