WHY IT WORKS

Why audience fit matters more than a spot on the list.

Fame and fit aren't the same. Looking past who tops the popular content creators charts to real audience data and engagement helps brands find creators who deliver results, not just visibility.

6.1%

Avg engagement rate

Content from content creators tends to feel personal and specific, which is what turns passive viewers into an engaged, responsive audience.

$280

Avg cost per post

Working with content creators lets brands run small, measurable tests before committing budget, which lowers the risk of any single bet.

68%

Local audience overlap

The reach of content creators is qualified: their followers already trust their judgement, so recommendations carry real purchasing weight.
