The Luminate Index

Only from Luminate, this index incorporates proprietary audience data, social media data and the same, exclusive Luminate data that powers the Billboard charts, then renders a ranking of today’s most influential talent.

Far more than a popularity contest, the Luminate Index incorporates both commercial success factors and first-party behavioral and attitudinal data that indicate each individual’s impact on consumers and their potential impact on consumer brands.
