WHY IT WORKS

What separates best social media content creators that convert from ones that just trend.

Lists of best social media content creators reward reach, but campaigns reward relevance. By weighing audience overlap and engagement over rank, brands can shortlist best social media content creators whose followers match their buyers.

Avg engagement rate

Audiences following social media content creators expect honest takes, so a well-matched partnership reads like a recommendation rather than a sales message.

Avg cost per post

Because individual collaborations with social media content creators are relatively low-cost, brands can test several angles in parallel and keep what performs.
