What is Audience Data?

Audience data is a resource that provides you with detailed demographic & psychographic data on influencers and their audience over Instagram, TikTok and Youtube. Please note our data consists of proprietary metrics derived from estimated information and do not necessarily reflect the actual data.

What is the Engagement Rate (ER)?
ER is the average number of likes divided by the number of followers.
We calculate ER based on the engagements gathered within the last 2 months (with a 500 post cap within this time period)  If there isn’t enough content to pull, we may take older posts (older than the 2 month period) but never more than 10 in total.

What is Audience Credibility?
Audience credibility shows the percentage of the audience we can confirm as real people (not bots or fake)  We do this by taking into account a few factors: profile pictures, bio, descriptions, number of posts, follower vs. following ratio.

What is brand Affinity?

Affinity is established by analysing influencer or audience: captions, @mentions, #hashtags and location tags in the most recent 150 posts (or more if they have published more within the last 2 months) This data is then categorised into brands we have saved in our database (Nike, Walt Disney, Apple, etc.)
Within audience brand affinity data point:
The weight of a brand is measured as a percentage of the audience showing interest in a particular brand. The affinity of a brand is a measurement of how much the audience is interested in the brand in comparison to average instagram users.  
1.0 affinity means interest levels are average
2.0 affinity means twice as interested
0.5 affinity means half as interested

What are the Audience/Influencer Interests?
