Little Dot Studios introduces Channel Intelligence Partner (ChIP), a proprietary analytics platform designed to optimize YouTube channel performance beyond native platform tools. The social media agency, which operates as an All3Media company, unveils the system after developing it internally to support more than 800 client channels that generate 6.5 billion organic views monthly.

ChIP consolidates data from billions of data points to provide insights that extend beyond YouTube’s standard analytics. Little Dot Studios builds the system specifically for digital publishing optimization and audience engagement.

“ChIP is a significant advancement for Little Dot Studios,” said Wayne Davison, Chief Revenue Officer at Little Dot Studios. “This platform was built by YouTube experts for YouTube experts, giving our teams and – by extension our partners – a unique advantage in understanding, growing, and optimizing those YouTube channels that are home to some of the most popular content ever produced.”

Seven Core Tools Target Channel Performance

The platform features seven primary capabilities. 

• Channel Health Check provides diagnostics on channel setup, content structure, and optimization practices. 
• Benchmarker compares individual video performance against channel averages to identify underperforming content. 
• Viewer Flow Diagrams visualize relationships between video length, watch time, engagement, and revenue to determine optimal content mix.
• Cadence Check calculates ideal upload frequency for each channel to balance growth with audience retention. 
• Channel Data Download enables bulk analysis across multiple channels. 
• Livestream Monitor tracks livestream functionality through dedicated dashboards.
• Demonetization Alerts automatically detect monetization changes at the video level for immediate intervention.

Internal System Supports Client Operations

Little Dot Studios keeps ChIP as an internal system rather than offering it as a commercial product. 

Davison notes that “with YouTube’s algorithms consistently moving the goalposts, it’s crucial to have real-time intelligence that really gets into the weeds and enables us to adapt quickly.”

Graham Swallow, Director of Data, Tech, and Product at Little Dot Studios, said the company builds ChIP because “the tools available in the market simply weren’t designed for the scale or depth of YouTube strategy we deliver.” He added that keeping ChIP internal ensures clients “benefit uniquely from technology that no one else has – a system built by world-leading YouTube experts, tailored for established channels with deep content libraries and ambitious growth objectives.”

The company’s in-house data, tech, and product teams develop the platform. Little Dot Studios positions ChIP as delivering competitive advantages through strategic recommendations and micro-optimizations that translate to audience impact, revenue gains, and subscriber growth.
