How the Social Content Opportunity Analysis™ Methodology Works
Measure & Categorize Posts. Sample a large number of social posts to find ones that are significantly outperforming the average.
Identify Top Themes. Identify the themes that are resonating most with the audience by sorting the themes by their aggregated performance metrics.
Measure The Benchmark. Identify content themes that are performing above and under an average benchmark for the industry based on views & engagements.
Identify & Rank Opportunities. Look at the data and find the content themes that are resonating with the audience based on a set of top creators.
Repeat For Each Platform. Repeat the analysis for every platform that matters to your brand and audience to find platform-specific opportunities.

Extreme Performing Segment:
1. Deep Powder
Varying clips showcasing skiers moving through deep sections of powder.
Tactics to Implement:
At The Peak: A constant viewpoint in these videos is the skiers filming themselves close to the mountain’s peak, indicated by the small tops of trees visible above the snow. Filming in these areas lets the viewers get a close-up of the skiers accompanied by scenic views.
POV: An added effect to showcase the “deep powder” effect is filming from the skier’s helmet or chest-mounted camera.
Content Opportunity:
Untouched Snow: Capture skiers moving through untouched terrain but film it from angles that emphasize the depth and amount of snow they ride through. I.e. Aerial views focused on the waves of snow whilst carving.
Athletes highlight particular parts of their gear choices and how they use them.
Tactics to Implement:
Functionality: As seen in this video, skiers compare the ability and feel of their skis on a run to the bottom of the mountain.
Purpose: Gear is often expensive, and creators include reasons why a particular piece of gear is worth the money.
Top Format:
Duration: 0:30 & 0:24
Hashtags: 12 & 8
Content Opportunities:
Gear Tryouts: Create a series that focuses on jump-cut-styled short-form videos where one skier chooses specific gear for another skier to use and record their reactions.
Similar to POV Downhill clips, however, these primarily focus on having one skier follow behind another for the entirety of the clips.
Tactics to Implement:
Full Frame: Videos in this category consistently keep the focus on the skier in front without ever letting them leave the frame.
Follow The Line: The skier filming for the other, typically follows the exact same line, giving viewers two different perspectives.
Opportunities:
Follow The Leader: Have 3-5 riders start a run together and have each member of the group perform the same line as the one at the front until there is no one left.
