Brand Personality Distinction

What is this metric?

The Brand Personality Distinction metric measures how distinct a brand's written content (sentence structure, keyword usage) and personality (archetype) are.

How is this metric calculated?

BlueOcean calculates a proprietary brand personality score based on each brand's content across the web (website, blogs) and social media (X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn). This calculation assesses the distinctiveness of each brand's written content (sentence structure, keyword usage) and personality (archetype), then compares that brand profile to twelve unique defined archetypes.

Note: It’s possible for a brand with low levels of content to receive a higher personality differentiation rate naturally, given that each additional piece of content can shift personality scores more than brands with larger amounts of brand content.
