Diversity Tracker from MediaCatch lets media companies monitor key diversity metrics like age, gender and origin of contributors and presenters in their content and channels. Providing real-time, concurrent data to inform your strategy and diversity efforts, it is a forceful driver for change. After all: If you can't see it - you can't be it!
Automatically track diversity across audio & visual platformsdiversity within your talent
Diversity tracking lets you catch and analyze the basic diversity of your content in both audio & visual formats. Using face and audio recognition technology, our proprietary AI algorithm determines the gender, age and origin (optional) of people featured in your content.
Monitor and set targets at channel/program or site level
Our unique dashboard allows you to measure and monitor your diversity concurrently, with a complete live overview of key diversity metrics: split between genders and age, across time slots, by week, split between hosts/others and much more.
Progress and support cultural change
An old adage says: "Not everything that matters can be measured.", but finally you can support your drive for cultural change with data! Diversity Tracking provides visual evidence of the progress you are making - and will create excitement and support the cultural change needed to be truly diverse.
Diversity is an important priority for most media companies - proven to drive profitability, impact and cultural relevance.
Unlike many of the self-reporting initiatives, like for example BBCs 50:50, Diversity Tracker uses AI to track the faces and voices of contributors across all content and delivers an unbiased view as experienced by your users. Our advanced technology and data visualization makes it easier than ever before to put action behind your diversity agenda.
Our proprietary AI algorithm can identify all faces on screen with an accuracy of 99%, and once recognized predicts the persons gender, age and origin (optional).
Accuracy measures:
Diversity Tracker will let you search for specific faces across all media sources, and identity exposures of key talent, spokespersons or people of interest with +95% accuracy.
We train a bespoke algorithm for your solution. That way you are able to separate out and look specifically at for example the diversity of your talent base and how this is reflected in exposure.
Note: Editorial entities do not require GDPR consent to search for specific faces.
You can also identify gender in audio formats using the Diversity Tracker solution.
Our AI algorithm is able to determine a persons gender with 95% accuracy based on their voice alone, making diversity tracking in for example radio, podcasts and other online audio sources possible.
Diversity Tracker is delivered as a dashboard, that showcases all the key metrics you wish to follow. For example:
This allows you to concurrently track how your diversity efforts are affecting your output, and dashboards can be customized to support your needs and key focus points.
Nothing moves the needle on your diversity efforts, like the editorial teams taking responsibility to act.
Available as soon as the program has aired, the editorial dashboard allows every editor to monitor the diversity of their specific show, breaking it down into the key metrics that matter. Able to visualize the shows progression over time on metrics like % male/female screentime and age, it is the perfect tool for editorial teams to rally around. We've even seen editorial staff compete against each other to drive key diversity metrics up!
