About Nanocrowd.
Understanding Why is crucial
Audience Analysis Tools
Movies and series evoke a variety of feelings and complex emotions. Ratings and rental histories don't capture these complexities. By understanding WHY, we were able to develop a powerful suite of audience analysis tools. Find out more about what we do and how we do it.
