Digital Turbine, an independent mobile growth platform, and Apptopia released the 2023 Q1 BRAG (Brand Relative App Growth) Brand Insights Report, a part of ongoing report series. This report provides brand-oriented mobile growth insights for CMOs and UA Marketers.

The report reveals new intelligence based on consumer sentiments for brand mobile apps across five categories; travel, social media, shopping, streaming audio, and streaming video. It empowers UA Managers and CMOs with new insights for mobile growth, which the leading brands undertake. The first BRAG index got released in 2020, and the subsequent reports continued to research the relationship of brand equity with mobile growth. The report analyzed Metrics like Brand Love, Brand Power and Love Compass. Brand Love is the strength of favorable opinions for brands, and Brand Power measures a brand's influence on consumer interest in installing their application. Love Compass scaled the change in user opinion; several users' responses improved or deteriorated in the last 90 days.

The leaders for each metric across the five categories in the report are as follows:

  • Brand Love: Netflix, Amazon, Amazon Music, Life360, and Marriott Bonvoy
  • Brand Power: Prime Video, Amazon Music, Amazon, TripAdvisor and Messenger
  • Love Compass: Paramount+, Fetch, BeReal, TouchTunes, and Marriott Bonvoy

CMO at Digital Turbine, Gregory Wester said, "Not all marketing investments immediately impact mobile growth." He added, "That said, our past BRAG analysis has shown the direct correlation between an increase in brand strength and success in mobile growth. The brands we measured outperformed in terms of Love, Power, and Compass, and are primed for outsized mobile growth. Next quarter, we'll find out who executed against their potential. Equally important, BRAG will reveal who outperformed without coveted brand metrics."

Feld Entertainment and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, are giving Children Of All Ages the opportunity to apply for a once-in-a-lifetime job to run away with The Greatest Show On Earth as a Social Correspondent and Content Creator. Beginning today, on World Circus Day, those with a passion for live entertainment, the circus and social media can apply to join the extraordinary cast of inspiring performers on tour across the country. The candidate will be immersed on tour with the performers and visionaries behind The Greatest Show On Earth, traveling across the United States dreaming up new, show-stopping social media content to increase engagement across Ringling accounts and bring followers into the scale and spectacle of the reimagined production. Creative, multi-talented content creators and storytellers that can juggle multiple social media accounts, capture photos and videos faster than a rocket, and create jaw-dropping, applause-worthy content, are encouraged to apply. "We have all fantasized about leaving our traditional life behind and running away with the circus, but not everyone has the superhuman skills to do so. Now, all you need are remarkable social media skills and a passion for circus arts," said Sam Gomez, Vice President of Digital Marketing, at Feld Entertainment. "By bringing a correspondent on the road with The Greatest Show On Earth, we'll not only fulfill someone's dream of traveling with the production, but also give fans the chance to go even deeper behind-the-scenes of the show like never before." Starring as a 'show guide' across Ringling social media platforms, the Social Media Correspondent will make their debut during the show's rehearsals this July – connecting with followers by capturing performances, behind-the-scenes content, conducting exclusive interviews, and more. Trading in the traditional 9-5 job, they will travel across the country beginning in September and work flexible (and fun!) hours as they find themselves in a new city each week. By the end of 2023, the Social Media Correspondent will have visited 55 cities from Louisiana to California! Those looking to take a leap in their career should have existing experience in social media marketing, strong writing and storytelling skills paired with experience in photography and videography, a passion for live entertainment and while not required, a hidden circus talent would be an added perk.
