Account Overview

What This Report Covers

Ranking 184 out of 1349 tracked creators makes this account a giant that holds 18.8M followers. This follower count is 17.1 times the median creator size of 1.1M. The growth trajectory of 296,000 new followers every month is fast for an account that has existed for 5.3 years. A total catalogue of 1.5B plays and 153.6M likes indicates a deep level of established engagement across its history. The 4.4M shares suggest high word of mouth distribution while the 5.5M saves indicate that the content provides high rewatch value for the audience. This volume of saved content confirms that the material remains useful or relevant to viewers long after the initial play. The like rate of 10.13% is more than double the median of 4.93%, which means the active engagement outperforms expectations for its size. Average views of 318,900 per video are in line with what a creator of this scale should produce. The rest of this report examines specific audience demographics and high performing content pillars.

Engagement Analysis

Based on 139 videos (2.9% sample)

This audience approves of content at double the median rate, ranking 250 out of 1349. High approval signals strong alignment with the brand voice. The engagement mix reveals specific intent behind the views. Saves are the most frequent action at 0.363%, followed by shares at 0.288%. Comments occur at a 0.101% rate while downloads sit at 0.094%. These figures translate to 1.2K saves, 917 shares, 322 comments, and 301 downloads per video. The audience prioritizes keeper value and word-of-mouth over active discussion. Brands should focus on creating evergreen content that users want to archive or share with peers rather than sparking immediate conversation. Reach shows some volatility. Sixteen videos hit the 2x average mark while two reached the 5x threshold. A consistency score of 1.34 indicates erratic reach patterns across the 139 total posts. This suggests specific topics occasionally break through while others may stall. This is an active audience.

Engagement Ratios

Each action as a share of views. Likes-to-views is how often a viewer taps like; saves-to-views is how often they bookmark a video to return to; shares spread it to others. Higher saves and shares signal content people find worth keeping or passing on, not just watching.

Likes are much higher than other actions, reaching 10.13% compared to less than 1% for comments, shares, or saves. This indicates that viewers prefer to acknowledge content quickly rather than interact with it deeply.

Viral Hit Rate

How often a video beats this account's own average views. The 2x figure is the share of videos that did at least twice the norm, the 5x figure at least five times. A higher rate means breakout hits happen more often rather than reach depending on rare spikes.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and average video performance

Sponsorships drive the primary revenue stream for this creator due to their large reach. With 18.8M followers, they can command a sponsorship fee between $50,000 and $120,000 per post. This high ceiling exists because brand deals scale with follower count while Creator Fund payouts are tied to views and pay only pennies per thousand. A rank of 184 out of 1349 places this account in the top tier of the platform. Such a high ranking means they command a premium price for their name and can decline low-paying briefs. The high like rate suggests deep audience engagement justifies a quote at the top end of their range. A cost per view calculation based on 318.9K average views puts the value at roughly $0.16 to $0.37 per view. This metric helps buyers determine if a quote is paying for actual reach or for the prestige of the brand. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 139 videos

Short clips dominate this feed with nearly seventy percent of posts under fifteen seconds. The sweet spot for engagement sits in the 15 to 30 second range where interaction rates hit 10.81%. Longer videos between 30 and 60 seconds see that rate drop to 6.54%. Prioritize the 15 to 30 second window to capture roughly sixty percent more engagement than the longer clips. Original sound is used on about one-third of the content. This choice sacrifices the reach potential of trending sounds for a specific brand identity. Captions average around 87 characters, keeping the text concise enough to support the video without distracting the viewer. Turning off both duet and stitch options keeps the focus entirely on the primary footage rather than inviting remixes from other creators. The standout clip lasted under 30 seconds and earned over triple the reach of a typical video. It pulled in a high volume of likes compared to comments, favoring quick interaction over long debates. This indicates that rapid consumption is the primary driver for peak performance. Average views of over 300k indicate a large established presence rather than a small growing niche. Focus on mimicking these specific timing and caption constraints to maintain consistency with what this audience expects. The high follower count means the content serves as an authority hub where steady engagement is the goal.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Key Insights & Takeaways

Audience & Reach

The creator holds a top-of-field rank with a multiplier of 17.1 over the median follower count. This position indicates that a single campaign can reach a high volume of viewers across the platform. Engagement is strong as the like rate sits more than double the median figure. A higher ratio of interactions per view means a brand message earns a stronger response from those who see it. Data shows the audience resides entirely within the United States market at 100 percent. While this allows for effective targeting in the US, a global campaign would require additional creators to reach other regions like Mexico or Brazil. The archive contains roughly 1.5 billion total plays across the content history. Placing a brand tag alongside such a deep back catalogue means your content sits next to material that has already been viewed by many people over time. This audience fits the Sports category because the high engagement and top-of-field ranking align with sports fans seeking specific soccer content.
