YouTube market data for brands and advertisers

See which categories, countries and languages are growing on YouTube, which creators lead them, and whether a sponsorship partner's audience is real and still growing.

The problem

Sponsorship budgets go to creators chosen on reach figures that say nothing about direction. A channel with a large subscriber count can be losing its audience; a smaller one can be doubling. Market questions are just as hard: which categories and countries are growing, and how crowded they are, is rarely measured in one place.

What Viewershift answers

Market reports show how YouTube channels split by category, country, language and size, and which of them grow fastest, rebuilt every week from our own measurements. Channel reports show whether a partner's audience is growing, how regularly they publish, and which languages their videos reach. Custom reports cut the same data for your category and markets.
