How to Read the Audience Overlap Report
Getting the data is easy, but analyzing and understanding it correctly is crucial for drawing the best insights!
1. Data tab: Displays basic information about the profiles, such as their handles and follower count.
2. Conclusions tab: Provides relevant information on how each influencer’s audience interacts and how this could impact your campaign.
-
- Total followers: The sum of followers across all influencers.
- Unique followers: The net potential reach of your campaign, showing the unique followers after removing any overlap.
- % Unique followers: The percentage of your potential audience reach. This helps determine if adjustments are needed to better meet your campaign goals.
- Exclusive followers: Followers who follow only one of the influencers in the pool, offering a unique reach opportunity.
- Expected Frequency Unique Followers: The average number of times each unique follower is expected to see the content.
- Expected Frequency Exclusive Followers: The average number of times each exclusive follower is expected to see the content.
3. Overlap 1vs1 / Overlap 1vs1 %: Shows how audiences of different influencers overlap, both in numbers and percentages. This helps you evaluate if collaborating with multiple influencers is beneficial or if adjustments are needed to optimize campaign reach and avoid unnecessary duplication.
4. Brand affinity: Displays how the audiences of selected influencers overlap with the audiences of the brands you’re interested in. This helps assess whether your target audience is already familiar with your brand or is more attuned to your competitors. Tracking brand affinity before and after the campaign can reveal which influencers brought the most attention to your brand.
Assessing Unique or Exclusive Followers
Whether the number of unique or exclusive followers is suitable for your campaign depends on your specific goals:
-
If your focus is on reach, you may prefer more unique followers with lower frequency.
-
If you prioritize repetition, you might aim for higher frequency even if that means more overlap.
There’s no definitive right or wrong approach; it depends on your campaign objectives, marketing strategy, and the decisions you make as a team.
Audience overlap analysis is only possible for Instagram influencers who have their complete list of followers visible. If an influencer hides some or all of their followers, audience overlap cannot be assessed. This also applies to business profiles.
