What people say about your brand – not just what people think
Today we are introducing our Conversation Brand Intelligence solution. Worlds firstBrand Conversation tracking in a conventional Brand Tracking solution — a proud collaboration with All Ears.
A voice and audio brand tracking layer on top of our already excellent strategic brand performance tracking.
For decades, strategic brand tracking has asked a “simple“ question: what do people think of your brand? — and our solution answers it beautifully with metrics like; awareness, preference, funnel, share of attention, brand position, demands and more. But this “only” captures what people think about your brand.
There are more, louder signals running in parallel — places and situations where your brand comes up, unprompted, in podcasts, on YouTube, on TikTok, on radio and television — and it has been almost entirely invisible to brand teams or teams have been forced to purchase other solutions capturing mostly text.
Now! — answer the question: what do people say about your brand?
Brands are built in places no one is measuring
Market shifts show up in demand, conversations, and AI dialogs long before they reach a traditional brand tracker. By the time they're measured, they've already impacted your growth. Therefor, in combination with a brand tracker, other brand signals is needed. It helps you spot changes earlier and understand not just what happened, but how and where it started.
Therefor we are now building just these signals into Brand Signal so you can catch it early.
We are building it on three pillars of measuring brands. The pillars of holistic brand intelligence; Perception, Conversation & Visibility

Brand Signal - “Conversation”
Conversation is built directly into Odyssey Brand Signal. It listens across the world's spoken media — podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, TV, web-TV, radio and more — and surfaces every time your brand or a competitor is mentioned.
It measures what actually matters to brand teams: how often, to how many people, in what tone, wherein which channels, and what is it worth.
Conversation isn't a bolt-on, bended into place. It's an important new pillar in our Brand Signal model. Our second signal package that sits alongside our already state of the art brand performance tracking, in the same dashboard, in MixerMind AI research assistant, under the same tools, across the same brands and markets you already track. The strategic brand-tracking question just got a lot more holistic: Perception tracking tells you why they buy, Conversation tells you why they talk or mentions your brand, and Brand Signal brings both into one story.
Answers things like...
"How often and how much are we mentioned compared to our competitors?"
"Compare our reach against our top three competitors across audio?"
"In which channels are we mentioned the most?"
“Whats the tone of voice, or sentiment of the mentions, what are people actually saying about our brand?”
"Whats the calculated value of the mentions?"
...and much more.
What Makes Conversation Different
This isn't a generic media-monitoring feed pasted onto your dashboard. It is purpose-built for brand teams, tuned against the same model framework as the rest of Brand Signal, and designed to deepen — not duplicate — your strategic and tactical tracking.

What we measure
For every mention we capture the four things a brand team actually needs to act on:
Mentions
Volume
View your brands share of all the mentions in the category space, total volume of mentions and compare with you competitors.
Reach
Audience size
How many people did the mentions reached. We calculate and estimate your brand share of total reach, total audience reached and compare this with your competitors.
PR Value
Media spend
Estimation of equivalent media spend value or PR value for the mentions. “ROI” for a mention using reach, sentiment, channel distribution and more. View your share of total PR Value.
Sentiment
Tone/voice/meaning
What are the people saying, is it positive / neutral / negative what they are saying about your brand. We also calculate a comparable Net Sentiment Score.
View mentions in detail, se details about channel, source, and a post/episode snippet.
Advanced Quality Assurance
Of course we hold conversation data to the same quality standards as our other research data. MixerMind AI is built into the conversation pipeline, end to end.
Country-Aware
We have extended All Ears data with market/country awareness. A podcaster is speaking in Swedish, but is it from Sweden or Finland? A creator based in Mexico, speaking Spanish to a Latin-American audience, but which market/markets should we attribute it to — even when language alone can't tell you, our MixerMind AI maps the data to the most appropriate market.
Topic Validation
Audio is noisy. A hit for "Apple" might be about the brand or about fruit. Every mention is scored for topic relevance by an MixerMind AI against category topic. Off-topic chatter is captured for audit but never polluted into the numbers you report.
Brand Validation
Audio is noisy. A hit for "Apple" might be about the brand or about fruit. We use the topic validation together with smart brand name searches, using AI, to really validate if it is the brand that we are looking for.
Ad Identification
We identify ads apart from organic mentions. AI flags whether a mention sits inside an ad read, a sponsored segment, or a paid collaboration — so earned reach doesn't get confused with paid.
MixerMind Already Speaks Conversation
Ask MixerMind"what drove our reach spike last month?" and it queries the Conversation metrics directly. Our AI research assistant doesn't need a second integration — conversation metrics are first-class citizens in every question it can answer, alongside with the brand performance metrics.
