Large audiences provide a large opportunity for nefarious actors to use it as a hook to either push new types of disinformation narratives or to connect long-standing disinformation narratives to exploit this new opportunity. Cyabra has really done a good job at identifying the information and just presenting it to you in a way that you can best make a decision.

Around the launch of Wonder Woman 1984 (WW84) we wanted to map out enthusiastic conversations and voices. Cyabra helped us analyze the social discourse around the movie and DC Comics fandom online. Once we were able to identify the most passionate influencers and communities, our theatrical marketing team was better equipped to magnify our social presence.
