Reach
The Content Analytics screen shows key information including:

Podcast Analytics
Podcasts offer several benefits over more traditional top-down corporate communications. They promote transparent leadership, meet employees’ needs, are easily accessible and give employees an organizational voice.
We have introduced an Audio Analytics section within Content Analytics to help creators accurately track podcast performance, and ultimately create the most engaging content possible for their audience.

Average Percentage Listened - The average amount of the podcast that was listened to across all listeners.

Videos are a powerful tool for conveying information within Workvivo.
Video Insights empower content creators to monitor post performance and understand what videos are resonating best with their audience. This results in more appropriate video lengths, video content and post timing, among other things.
We have introduced more comprehensive Video Insights within Content Analytics to help creators accurately track video performance, and ultimately post the best video content possible for their audience.
