Bath & Body Works' ten nearest neighbors span six different subcategories — athletes, an actor, a TV show, a beverage brand, a musician, a superstore, a tech app, and a restaurant — with no other Home brand appearing in the set. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 0.89 means the audiences look nearly identical in shape, regardless of what the entities actually are.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.8621 to 0.8936, a range of just 0.03 across all ten neighbors, with no single dominant pull. Shemar Moore sits at the top (0.89), followed by The Masked Singer (0.88) and Mountain Dew (0.87). Athletes make up the largest single subcategory in the top 10 — Jay 'Christian' Reso (0.87), Bill Goldberg (0.87), and Bully Ray (0.86) — a striking presence for a home-goods brand. Sting (0.87, Musicians and Bands), Walmart (0.87, Grocery and Superstores), Ibotta (0.87, Technology), and Chili's (0.86, Restaurant) round out a neighbor set with no clear thematic thread beyond audience shape.
The flat, cross-kind structure suggests Bath & Body Works draws an audience whose composition is broadly shared across mainstream American consumer culture rather than concentrated within any single content or retail niche.
