Q For Q Rating

Q Rating, or Q Score, refers to an advertising research rating that gauges how easily a celebrity is recognized -- and how well the celebrity is liked.

The positive Q Score is calculated by counting how many respondents answered A (one of my favorites) divided by the number of respondents answering A (one of my favorites) through F (Never heard of), and calculating the percentage. Yes, there’s math involved.

The Q Rating is a measurement of the familiarity and appeal of a brand, celebrity, company, or entertainment product in the United States. The higher the Q Score, the more highly regarded the item or person.

The highest rated traditional stars ranked by the 13  to 17-year-old demographic gave Tom Hanks a positive Q Score of 46 and Beyonce ranked 32.

According to Variety, “top YouTubers are on par with some high-profile traditional celebrities; Pentatonix, for instance, has the same Q Score numbers as recent Oscar winner Brie Larson.”

Q Scores and other variants are primarily used by the advertising, marketing, media, and public relations industries.

Post Credit Sequence

A Post Credit Sequence can be a throwaway scene, out-takes or, as fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will quickly tell you, they can be an important epilogue that happens during or after the end credits have finished rolling. Sometimes both.

It’s used as a bonus for audience members who stick around to read all the professionals who helped create the movie they just watched.

And, it’s also a great way to generate word of mouth about the bonus scene that creates important ‘buzz.’

Great examples are The Muppet Movie (1979) Airplane (1980), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), many of the PIXAR movies, Napoleon Dynamite (2004), and Captain Marvel (2019).

Feel free to let us know which Post Credit Sequence was your all-time favorite!
