WHY IT WORKS

Why media creators outperform follower count.

Media creators work when their audience matches yours. Looking past follower totals to real engagement and content fit lets brands find media creators whose recommendations carry weight and drive conversions.

6.1%

Avg engagement rate

Part of what makes creators effective is intimacy of scale: smaller, focused audiences who actually listen when they post.

$280

Avg cost per post

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

68%

Local audience overlap

Creators open doors to specific communities, letting brands reach the right buyers rather than the largest possible crowd.
