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.

Find your creatorsWhat metrics did we use to find the most growing Influencers in January 2025?
We asked our influencer marketing platform to find brands with these metrics:
👉 Followers: Below 10K
👉 Engagement rate: Above 2%
Nobody wants to work with a dull brand 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.
👉 Activity level: Active
We also used our platform to find active instagram growing creators. There are no duds here.
👉 Growth: On the up!
All these brands have had an audience growth of 30% or more over the last 6 of months.
What does it mean?
These influencers are trending, and their audiences are growing!
