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.

What metrics did I use to find the most famous YouTubers?
I asked my influencer marketing platform to find USA-based YouTubers with these metrics:
👉 Followers: On the up
All of these popular YouTubers have growing audiences. Our AI-powered influencer database identified them based on audience growth over the last 6 months.
👉 Engagement rate: Above industry standard
Nobody wants to work with a dull influencer or one with fake followers.
Who’s got time to use a fake follower checker?
We used our platform to analyse the audience and ensure they engaged with the content.
The higher the engagement, the better.
👉 Audience location: High
That’s right. Our platform further analysed the audience of each American social media influencer.
Why?
To ensure the audience resides in the United States.
