Ranker is the leader in fan-powered rankings on just about everything. Whatever the topic - TV, movies, video games, sports, brands, food - Ranker puts the vote into the hands of millions rather than a few critics to answer the questions we are most passionate about. Over 1 billion votes now power Ranker Insights, a treasure trove of psychographic correlation data that delivers personalized consumer recommendations (if you like X, you`ll also like Y, Z) and audience insights to marketers, studios, and platforms seeking a deeper understanding of consumer tastes and preferences. Launched in 2020 and powered by Ranker Insights, Watchworthy is the only statistically relevant, crowd-sourced TV recommendation app available to consumers. Ranker is listed on 2020`s Inc. 5000 and Inc. 5000: California Series; Deloitte`s 2019 Technology Fast 500; Built In LA`s Top 50 Mid-Sized Companies To Work For in 2020 and 2021; and on Fast Company`s World`s Most Innovative Companies for 2021 (No. 5). Headquartered in Los Angeles with over 115 employees, Ranker also has offices in NYC and Chicago. Ranker was founded by Clark Benson, a lifelong entrepreneur with four prior successful startups. The last was eCrush, a top 10 online dating service (acquired by Hearst).
