Influencer audience size breakdown (by views)

For their top social platform (Instagram), here is a breakdown of the type of influencers Edgars are collaborating with, by audience size.

Note: this breakdown is based on each influencer's average views (not follower/subscriber count), because views typically correlate more closely with influencer pricing and impact.

With 41.9% of partnerships featuring creators averaging 1K-5K views, Edgars's strategy suggests niche targeting and authenticity, likely leveraging collaboration models like gifting and affiliates to work with smaller creators. Notably, there appears to be minimal activity in the 500K+ segment.
