This project analyzes short-form and long-form performance across platforms using views, engagement, posting cadence, and creator-level signals. The goal is to help marketers and creators decide what to publish, when to publish, and who to partner with. At a glance:

  • Overview summarizes total/average views, total videos, engagement velocity, and country engagement rate.
  • Contents & Posting surfaces winning hashtags and titles, seasonal lifts, a country map, and publish-day spikes.
  • Trends & Creators compares trend duration types, engagement by tier (Micro/Mid), and top creators by views/engagement.

Tools & Technologies

  • Tableau Public (interactive analytics & dashboarding)
  • SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) for ad-hoc EDA

Dashboard Pages

  • Overview – total & average views, total videos, average engagement per creator, engagement velocity, duration of most viral video, engagement rate by country
  • Contents & Posting – top hashtags, top titles, total views by season, map by country, publish day per platform, duration vs engagement
  • Trends & Creators – creator handles, trend duration by type (short/medium/evergreen), engagement rate by tier, engagement velocity by trend label, top creators by views & engagement

Key Insights

  • Scale & velocity: TikTok generally shows higher total views and faster engagement velocity, while average views per video are similar across platforms.
  • Seasons & timing: Views peak in Summer/Fall, with a strong posting-day spike on Fridays; Sundays often underperform.
  • Content cues: Actionable/utility titles and broad hashtags (e.g., #FYP, #Lifestyle, #Music) remain reliable reach drivers.
  • Trend duration: Evergreen and medium-length trends contribute outsized, durable performance vs. short spikes.
  • Creators: Mid-tier creators can deliver strong engagement efficiency; leaderboards surface high-ROI partners.
