WHY IT WORKS

Why the top top social media content creators aren't always the right fit.

A ranking of top social media content creators tells you who's big, not who's right for you. Instead of chasing the names at the top, brands can use engagement rate, audience quality, and content fit to find top social media content creators who actually move products.

6.1%

Avg engagement rate

Social media content creators sit inside a community rather than above it, so collaborations read as part of the conversation instead of an ad break.

$280

Avg cost per post

The smaller scale of work with social media content creators is a feature, turning marketing into a series of affordable, learnable experiments.

68%

Local audience overlap

The value of social media content creators is targeted reach: the right people, in the right niche, hearing it from someone they already follow.

5 days

Avg time to live

Social media content creators shorten the distance between idea and audience, which is invaluable when timing and trend relevance matter.
