With 34.5% of partnerships featuring creators averaging 1K-5K views, VWB's strategy suggests niche targeting and authenticity, likely leveraging collaboration models like gifting and affiliates to work with smaller creators. The 5K-10K views segment is also prominent at 24.6%, indicating investment across adjacent tiers. Notably, there appears to be minimal activity in the 500K+ segment.
