The Watch feature within Vivvix allows for the ability to create a competitive advertiser profile which is used to populate the dashboards found on the main Watch page.

Profiles are typically created for a custom set of specific competitive advertisers/brands. However, you also have the ability to populate the Watch dashboards utilizing a known category in Vivvix.

Populating the Watch dashboards while utilizing a category will provide a competitive view for the top overall advertisers in a category.

TO GET STARTED:

Click on the Hamburger Menu located at the top-right corner of the Vivvix application and choose My Profiles.

Choose Create New Profile, found towards the top right-side.

Navigate to the Categories tab to search for and add the category you would like to utilize for your Category Profile. You can select more than one category, if you choose.

You can select category information at each level of our category classification structure:

  • Industry Group

  • Industry

  • Major

  • Category

  • Subcategory

For tips on how to search for a category, please see our Help Center article:


Once you have located the category, click the checkbox located to the left of the category to select.
