TheSoul Publishing, the global digital studio delivering creative, short-form video content that soars on social media, has become the first media publisher to reach an incredible 100 billion social media views in 2021, according to available research data. Reaching audiences across the top social platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and Snap, the achievement firmly establishes TheSoul Publishing amongst the world’s premier content creators.
Data from social video analytics provider Tubular Labs places TheSoul Publishing in the #1 position, since October 2020, of most social media views across YouTube and Facebook -- ahead of all digital-first studios and legacy media companies -- including the Walt Disney Company, ViacomCBS, Comcast, Moonbug, WarnerMedia, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Jellysmack, and more.
The channel portfolio of TheSoul Publishing includes the Top-10 YouTube channel 5-Minute Crafts, as well as Bright Side, 123 GO!, Avocado Couple, La La Life, Teen-Z, Slick Slime Sam, and more.
In addition, across social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube, TheSoul Publishing’s content-- showcasing impressive animation to engaging stop motion, compelling craft projects and more-- has attracted 250 billion minutes watched, amounting to nearly 500,000 years of global audience viewing time within the first half of 2021 alone.
"Though numbers of this caliber are always impressive to celebrate, there is so much more to these milestones. We have an incredible team that keeps raising the bar every single day and we look forward to sharing additional exciting developments as we continue to progress on our journey. Our vision is clear of how to further build upon the growing success of the entertainment that we create. Entertainment content that has strong universal appeal and is delivered to global audiences through the world's top platform partners," said Arthur Mamedov, COO of TheSoul Publishing.
TheSoul Publishing’s ability to stay on top of trends, adapt its content to current tastes, and produce positive, captivating videos helped it reach an impressive 100 billion social media views. The 100 billion views milestone bolsters TheSoul Publishing as a go-to, online source for uplifting and engaging entertainment. This achievement comes on the heels of TheSoul Publishing flying past 1 billion social media followers in April. The media powerhouse was also recently recognized by Tubular Labs for its highly-popular content, topping the charts in Tubular Labs’ 2020 Awards with the most unique global viewers in 2020 (644 million, tied with The Walt Disney Company).
