Customer Overview
Medieakademin Sweden (aka The Media Academy) is a non-profit association that wants to deepen the media debate and create meeting places to increase understanding of how media affect society.

It is a recurring report that maps who or what has the most significant influence in the digital media landscape in Sweden.
Key Highlights

● The Power Barometer by Medieakademin, aka Maktbarometern, is the only report of its kind in Sweden
● The Influencer Finder tool made the discovery of influencers relatively simple and uncomplicated
● ''There is no better tool than this to measure TikTok precisely''
Needs
Medieakademin had essential TikTok data needs on local influencers and related engagement matrix for their annual report 'Power Barometer 2023: Showcasing Accounts with the Most Influence in Social Media.' The Power Barometer report showcases the most influential Swedish personalities in new and popular digital channels by analyzing their 'power of influence' on society.
The organization sought a tool to help collect this TikTok data seamlessly to publish the report in its due time. With its detailed and extensive database of influencers, Exolyt was able to support this need.

Challenges
The main requirements at hand:
- Collect enormous amounts of data on all Swedish TikTok accounts to analyze and identify the ones with the maximum influence.
- Discover TikTok user locations and native languages to learn about regional niche influencers.
- Find a tool that saves time in seamlessly exploring, analyzing, and exporting TikTok data.
As the TikTok platform remains relatively untapped with little to no information on users from native sources or third-party statistics, it becomes difficult to study human social behavior, limiting market research, brand growth, and influencer marketing, among others.
In situations like this, brands, researchers, and analysts depend on solutions like Exolyt.
After competing against other services, we concluded that Exolyt had the most TikTok-friendly tool. We haven't managed to find anything better than this!
