Account Overview

What This Report Covers

This creator ranks 191 out of 1349 tracked accounts and holds 18.2M followers, which is 16.6 times the median follower count of 1.1M. This positions the account as a giant at the top of the field. The growth trajectory is fast, with the creator gaining 237.2K new followers every month over its 6.4 year history. A large lifetime footprint of 1.4B total plays and 135.8M total likes indicates a deep and established presence across the platform. The 17.5M shares suggest high word of mouth distribution while the 9.2M saves confirm that the content has high rewatch value for the audience. Average views sit at 1.2M per video, which is in line with what an account of this size should produce. The like rate of 9.36% easily clears the 4.93% median, confirming that the engagement is much higher than typical for a creator of this scale. The following report breaks down these specific engagement metrics and audience demographics to help inform your strategy.

Engagement Analysis

Based on 232 videos (19.1% sample)

The audience approves of content at nearly double the median rate, ranking 320 out of 1349. This high approval indicates strong initial resonance with the creative style. Shares are the dominant behavior as users actively spread word of mouth to others. This is followed by saves which show a clear intent for followers to return to the content as a reference. Comments and downloads represent much lower engagement levels. The audience shares 14.4K times, saves 7.6K times, comments 845 times, and downloads 84 times. Because sharing outpaces commenting by over tenfold, the audience acts more as distributors than conversationalists. Brands should treat this channel as a high-reach distribution engine rather than a space for community building. Reach is inconsistent across the 232 videos. Only 13.8% of content hit the 2x average mark with 32 videos reaching that threshold. Ten videos reached the 5x peak. A consistency score of 2.02 confirms that reach fluctuates well between posts. This audience is an active one.

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.

The like rate of 9.36% is much higher than the other actions. This shows that viewers are more likely to double tap the content than they are to comment or share it.

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 for this creator because of their large reach. A follower count of 18.2M suggests a high earning potential from brand deals. Creator Fund payouts rely on views and pay only pennies per thousand impressions. This makes direct sponsorship contracts much more lucrative than platform rewards for an account of this size. A rank of 191 out of 1349 places this creator in a position of power. They command a premium over the average user because they can select specific briefs while smaller accounts must accept any offer. The high engagement rate helps them sit at the top end of their potential price range. A buyer should view the estimated sponsorship band as a starting point for negotiation rather than a fixed fee. The cost per view sits around $0.40 based on the average 1.2M views per video. This figure helps a brand determine if a quote is paying for actual reach or just for the name. If a quoted rate exceeds this amount, the buyer is paying for the influence of the creator's persona. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 232 videos

Most content falls into the 15 to 30 second range. Choose this middle ground as your standard because it outperforms the longer format by over three times in engagement rate. Videos lasting more than three minutes see a drop to 2.48% engagement, making shorter clips nearly four times more effective for building interaction. Focus on the under-60-second window to maximize every view. Original audio is used in roughly two thirds of the posts. This choice sacrifices the boost from trending sounds to establish a unique sonic identity for the brand. Captions average 118 characters, which provides enough space to set a scene without overwhelming the viewer. Disabling both duet and stitch features keeps the focus entirely on the primary footage rather than inviting outside remixes. The top video lasted just 12 seconds and achieved 15.5 times the normal reach for this account. It gathered 2.8 million likes against only 5.1k comments, a ratio of over 500 likes per comment. This lopsided result shows that rapid consumption won out over active debate. The clip succeeded through quick taps rather than sparking a conversation in the comments. Average views sit at 1.2 million, which establishes this as a large established account. Growth strategies should prioritize maintaining consistency for a huge base rather than seeking small-scale growth. Every post already reaches a high floor of viewers regardless of minor creative tweaks. The sheer scale of the audience makes consistent branding more important than chasing experimental formats.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 232 videos (19.1% sample)

Sparse high-production is the pattern for this account because its low posting frequency correlates with a top-tier follower rank and high average views. The content lands well below the field median but maintains a position near the top of the follower rankings. This creator has maintained this pace for over four years, establishing a durable history despite an erratic consistency grade. While the gap between posts is much longer than the median, the established tenure confirms this as a deliberate production choice rather than a lack of activity. New content typically arrives on Tuesday and Friday, with a peak upload hour around 19:00 UTC. Saturday remains the quiet day for new posts. Marketers should plan for sporadic drops rather than a steady drumbeat of content. You can expect the most reliable windows for a campaign tie-in to be the Tuesday or Friday uploads.

Key Insights & Takeaways

Audience & Reach

Ranked 191 of 1349 with a 16.6x multiple over the median means this account operates at broadcast-scale. A single campaign can reach a broad audience across the platform. The like response sits well above the median, meaning a brand message earns a stronger engagement signal per viewer than most creators. This high rate suggests that sponsored content will land with more impact than a standard placement. The regional data shows the audience is concentrated entirely in the United States. A campaign here captures the primary market effectively but cannot reach viewers in other regions since no other countries appear in the split. The lifetime footprint of 1.4 billion plays means a brand tag sits beside content that has already been watched many times. This comparison indicates your placement joins an archive with deep historical reach rather than just a fresh start. The audience fits the entertainment category because the high like response and broadcast-scale size support a wide reach for lifestyle or media products.

Key Takeaways

Reach. Ranking 191 of 1,349 with a following 16.6 times the median size puts this account in the upper portion of the field. Engagement. A 9.36% like-rate is nearly double the 4.93% median, meaning the audience interacts with content more than most creators. Hit-rate. Only 13.8% of recent videos beat double the average view count, which indicates a low frequency of breakout hits relative to normal performance.
