FAQ

Frequently asked about World Cup brand sentiment.

How is World Cup brand sentiment measured?
dig analyzes social video across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other platforms frame by frame. Sentiment is scored at the clip level using figure detection, logo recognition, audio analysis and comment parsing — not keyword matching. Results are updated continuously during the tournament.
Can I track my brand's World Cup sentiment with dig?
Yes. The same engine powering this hub runs underneath dig Enterprise. Book a demo to see always-on narrative and brand intelligence for your category, including sponsor competitive tracking, authenticity signals and player halo analysis.
What's the difference between dig and traditional social listening?
Traditional tools count keyword mentions and hashtags. dig watches the video — frame by frame — and understands what each clip is actually about, who appears in it, which logos are visible and how the audio scores. That's how it can attribute a 5.6M-view post to the right narrative without anyone ever typing #worldcup.
