Creator sizes
Bigger is not always better. The right size depends on whether you mainly want awareness or action. Smaller creators bring a tighter audience and stronger engagement; larger ones bring reach and recognition.
Emerging creators · 1K-10K
Highest trust and engagement. Best for hyper-local or niche campaigns where authenticity matters most.
High-efficiency creators · 10K-50K
Best balance of reach, engagement and cost. Ideal for product launches, DTC brands and performance campaigns.
Scale creators · 50K-500K
Broad visibility and recognition. Good for awareness and brand positioning at scale.
Celebrity-level creators · 500K+
Mass awareness and cultural reach. Premium pricing; use where broad visibility matters most.
